The photos was taken a couple of months ago at Como Park Conservatory. I am in denial when it comes to the whole winter thing. After all we really didn't have a summer and the November started in October and now it seems lie we are having our October in November. It possible that we will have our December in December which means it could snow.

I think we are better off here in St. Paul, than our Minneapolis neighbors are when it comes to snow emergencies. For those of you who may be reading from warmer climates snow really isn't an emergency here it is kind of normal but they call it an emergency when they need to plow but cars are on the street.  In Minneapolis they let people park one side of the street or the other.  That makes sense it is hard to park on both sides of the street. People get confused over which side they can park on when. It wouldn't be fair though it I didn't mention that in Minneapolis they plow the allies but here in good old St. Paul we take care of them ourselves. 

Here in St. Paul we have night plow routes and day routes and snow emergency routes. The snow emergency routes get plowed first and then is  day and night routes depending upon the time of day. I guess isn't that simple either but the city has numerous notification systems to notify residents of snow emergencies and that they need to move their cars. Now you can follow St. Paul public works on Twitter, stpaulpublicw and I hope they are not tweeting while they are driving the trucks with the plows.  I think it is one of the cities better ideas and maybe people will re-tweet when they see the snow emergency notification in their twitter stream.

Lets hope that we really had November last month and that December never comes but it it does make sure your car is in the right place at the right time.
