-7 just doesn’t feel as cold as it used to (when the wind isn’t blowing). I saw lots of hard packed snow on a lot of the roads tonight. Expecting a couple more inches of snow tomorrow in addition to the inch of snow that fell over the weekend.
Did you know… the Memphis airport is the world’s busiest cargo airport. The airport owes it’s status to FedEx’s “world hub” in Memphis.
Minne-Etymology lesson:
The word Minnesota comes from the Dakota language name for the Minnesota River: Mnisota. The root Mni (also spelled mini or minne) means, “water”. Many locations in the state have similar names, such as:
- Minnehaha Falls (“waterfall”, not “laughing waters” as is commonly thought)
- Minneiska (“white water”)
- Minnetonka (“big water”)
- Minnetrista (“crooked water”)
- Minneapolis (“water city”, polis is the Greek word for “city”)
