Snow did not impact my shopping on iota. Did it all over the Internet. Bought a nice piece of jewelery for my wife from a retailer out in Seattle. Very good price, and no sales tax. Already came to me in the mail. Insured mail of course.

If I haven't gotten mail in two days, I suppose shoppers will have a hard time leaving the comfort of their house.

If you only depend on few days to make money then you are screwed!

Really a worthless article. How many people will not buy some gifts due to a couple of bad days of weather? "Sorry everyone, I could not buy any of you gifts this year because we had a couple of snow days, maybe next year you will get gifts". You decide what you are going to buy for Christmas gifts and you buy them. Weather does not change this..

George W. Bush strikes again. Liberals want us to believe all heavy snowfall--and lack of snow--is caused by Global Warming. And we all know Global Warming didn't start until George Bush was elected--Er, excuse me, I mean "selected". I'm sure Obama will take the podium any day now and blame George Bush for the heavy snow in the Twin Cities. Kind of like how Bush is to blame for Obama's massive deficit spending spree.

democratslie@...You really need to write some Tom Clancy type of novel. All your posts in this paper are pure fiction, just as this made up piece of crappy fiction you wrote. Don't you ever get tired of being on such a one track fools errand..?

Black Friday As Biggest Holiday Sales Day Is A Misnomer....Depending How Close The Last Saturday Before Christmas Falls, It Is The Biggest Sales Day of The Year If Less Than 4 Days or So And Then Dec. 23 Is # 3 After Black Friday......

Remember when George Bush created all those hurricanes, now Tim Pawlenty is creating snowstorms. Hahahaha.....

Why aren't comments mocking a "settled science" being deleted?

Shopping in MN this time of year is a pain. You know?
