First day in Minneapolis

Even with the cold and snowy weather and working on a holiday, the day was wonderful.

Is this crazy guy from Alabama about to walk to work in the snow? It feels good for the first minute!

… maybe tomorrow …

The parking lot was still pretty clear in the morning, but you can see the piles of snow between the cars.

I could see the drizzling snow out the window of our classroom the entire day.

A little more snow by the end of the day.

After writing my first Pascal program and dinner at the restaurant at hotel next door, Sunil and I ventured out to the Target to pick up a few things. I learned that the best way to drive in the snow is to not go very far (or very fast). That must be why they have so many Targets around here!

Kip’s; snow caught in the flash (looks like bright stars); the moon through the haze of the snow and clouds.

BTW, I had the “Bangers and Mash” at Kip’s, which was delicious.

This mound of snow is probably 8 feet high. There were several of these huge piles throughout the parking lot.

This one must be at least 12 feet tall!
