Their website says this plunge isn't until March, though. When is this happening that you are measuring today?

Knoll had to come and get me from my place this morning, too. They didn't plow our parking at all and I was stuck. Shoveled for over an hour.
The roads are bad friends! We got stuck in the Live Drive this morning, but of course Photogs Jeff and Chris to the rescue 😍 @KSTP

We are so glad to have you here! So happy you showed that you belong.
In 2014, I had a professor tell me that people who look like me are never smart enough to handle the math it takes to be a meteorologist. In 2022, I became a meteorologist in the 14th largest market in the nation, and last night, became an EMMY AWARD WINNING METEOROLOGIST!

Please take a moment to share this link. My friend Jacob wants to be able to provide prosthetics and prosthetic equipment to Ukrainians who’ve been injured in the Russian attacks. There are innocent people losing limbs, and they have nowhere to turn. gofundme.com/f/prosthetics-f…
