If any of you wonder just how bad Minnesota gets during the winter, now you know. :o

yeah, I used to live there, but usually it isn't this bad, just a pile of snow builds up after a while...

Crazy video.
I took a business training trip to Minneapolis a couple of winters ago, after HP took over MacDermid Incorporated. During a break, our trainer took us out to the surrounding area that had a pond partially frozen over. She said they usually have hockey games during a lunch hour on the pond. We walked down to it, and for the first time in my life I walked partially across frozen water (too damn scared to go more than a few feet ... even though the woman walked all around the shoreline like it was a sidewalk).
You NEVER see that in Texas :). Worst winter here was an ice storm back in 1979, that almost literally ground the Dallas/Fort Worth area to a halt. Compared to what the northeast gets, it was just a hiccup.
Hell, citizens in Texas panic when there's six inches of snow on the ground, and close schools. I guess it's because everyone here knows Texas drivers don't know how to drive :D. A Texas driver on ice ... wow, that's a sight to behold too :)
