re: #94 still stpaulbear

My neighborhood gets that effect sometimes. I’m in the valley just before the Mississippi heads through downtown St. Paul and I sometimes get valley-and-river-effect additional snow. It’s why I used to take the bus to work every time we had a big snowstorm. There would always be an extra 2-3” of snow on the bottom half of my driveway.

It’s interesting because the Mississippi River valley isn’t particularly deep through there. I mean, it’s several stories, but the St. Croix valley is quite a bit deeper. Amazing how even that little of an influence has such an outsized effect.
