More Brutal Global Warming Hits Mid West with Snow, Ice, Wind

Gov. Nixon declares state of emergency in Mo.;
Much of South Dakota shut down from snow and ice;
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton calls out Nat'l. Guard;
 

Al Gore no where to be found.

From a vassal AP:
"The National Weather Service said southwestern Minnesota could get 8 or 9 inches of snow by Thursday morning, while 8 to 14 inches was forecast for a large swath of southern Minnesota, including the Twin Cities, St. Cloud, Willmar and Mankato starting Wednesday night and into Thursday.

In Missouri and Arkansas, dangerous winds were the threat Wednesday. A tornado was reported to have touched down near Botkinburg in north-central Arkansas, said John Robinson, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in North Little Rock. Four people were injured...

Residents in eastern South Dakota were hunkering down Wednesday for the second wave of a spring storm that already downed power lines and closed roads, schools and businesses. Tens of thousands of residents in that part of the state remained without power as they awaited more bad weather."
Fortunately, no deaths have been reported, but there's plenty of injuries, property damage and just plain old disgust at the Winter that won't go away.
