Some Minnesotans began to panic with the thoughts of a "historic" weather event that was supposed to happen in late February 2023.

Forecasts were predicting around a foot of snow in the Northland, while parts in the Twin Cities area were predicted of facing up to over two feet of snow.

Now apparently the thing to do is "How can one-up other Minnesotans and become internet famous?":

Even the Weather Channel gave Minneapolis a shoutout:

Snow removal is in fact an art here in the Frozen Tundra. We were molded by the cold, therefore we act accordingly during such winter storm events.

One person even filmed the entire storm while they are in Minneapolis:

And some Minnesotans call others out:

Other Minnesotans do the griddy in times of the snow storms we get:

Let's not forget this year's Minnesota snowplow name winners:

Here's a look from the first night of the storm:
