Last month City Pages brought you the story of a perfectly decent drawing of a dick in the snow of Loring Park in Minneapolis. All in good cheer, we thought then.

Sure, it was a little chilly in early January, but no one worried. This -- until we're absorbed by Canada -- is still Minnesota and besides, this winter's been unusually mild. The rest of that month, and in early February, the daily high temperature often rose above freezing; and last weekend was so unseasonably warm, people stripped down to their shirts and dined outdoors on patios.

What fools. For, by drawing the snow dick, we in the Twin Cities apparently summoned the snow-dick-storm of the year.

The imminent arrival of a phallic-shaped snow event was predicted by the National Weather Service radar (and noticed by a City Pages tipster) on Wednesday. The weather system runs through parts of the Dakotas and northern Wisconsin; the tip appears to be resting in Lake Superior, which sounds like really cold.
