It's the 10th anniversary of the upper Midwest winter storm of December 8-9, 2009. One of the few single-storm double-digit snowfall total events for MBY I can recall in my adult life, and especially one of the few such events occurring before Christmas. It was true heart-attack snow, the consistency of wet cement. Impossible to run in, brought down a few big tree limbs, and caused any single-stage snowblower to bog down, even the big one attached to the garden tractor. Would have been great for making snowballs, snowmen/forts/other snow sculptures, though.
