It's becoming clear that I'm going to have to start a new category on News Cut: "Welcome to Minnesota" (See previous entry). These are videos and stories that explain this place to people elsewhere.

Here's an entry that's been posted in the last 24 hours.

For this latest storm, you're all following Paul Huttner on Updraft, right?

I don't know what's worse, the bad driving technique, or clinging to the hope that somehow the next try will be different.

Oh man that's awful but we've all been there! Good reason to keep sand/salt on hand. Did he ever get up the driveway or did he just give up?

No sand? No salt? Here's a little New England driving tip. Spread snow over the ice. And, of course stop gunning the engine.

Yes, obviously a new-to-Minnesota driver. Kitty litter works too.
