I am about 3 hours east of Rochester MN, it is wicked tonight, has been since 10am...the new 'winter hurricane', wind, snow, pellets and freezing rain is the new kind of 'blizzard' we get. (I am waiting for thunder...they said that may happen too). I prefer the old snow and wind kind of blizzard, to this new freezing rain kind (call me a gnome). I have never heard a house make these kinds of noises, and I have lived in the Great Lakes region my whole long life. I hope it improves tomorrow, I think it will. It seems to be moving faster than predicted and I think the ice will stay south of Rochester, which is good. Snow is drive-able...ice is not.

Good luck, stay safe, wish for the best.

I will be undergoing some very invasive diagnostics in the next 6 weeks and I am apprehensive. I understand the uncertainty and difficulty of it all.
