What, is this Minnesota?

Seems like it more as the days go by; tomorrow we're supposedly going to be hit with a blizzard. The snow's going to be stacking up on our side of the Cascade Mountains, they say, rather than over to the east. I won't mind, I guess, as long as we don't lose our power.
A lone employee made it to the local likker store today, where she was besieged with customers. No one had made it there the previous day, and several sad people turned away from its darkened interior. Gotta keep our St. Bernards stocked with lifesaving elixirs.
