@inthehands Very best of luck to the Twin Cities in braving this storm, and your tactical analysis seems spot-on. All of us will learn and plan, as it gets worse.

I have been thinking lately about my family in Norway during the occupation, where one response was called the “ice front”: occupying soldiers, officials, and sympathizers were shunned to the extent of acting as if the had not spoken. Humor was used to signal the invaders being unwelcome, samizdat press kept spirits high, and symbols such as the “seven” sign referring to undefeated King Haakon 7, were common.

It is past time America does likewise. It is time to learn from our Norwegian bestemors (grandmothers).
