We did get a bit of snow here in Fargo... I would guess at least 7 inches, but its hard to tell with all the drifting.
I did ride around a bit in a jeep in the blizzard (I know...). The roads werent terrible, just a lot of drifting and visibility wasnt the best.
Many businesses were closed today and that seems to have been a trend in most areas that recieved a lot of snow.
Blizzard puts chill on businesses

The blizzard that ripped through the Red River Valley was a major chill pill for businesses hoping to take advantage of the annual holiday rush.
With high winds, dangerous wind chills and nearly impassable side streets, most businesses decided not to open Sunday or closed early.
Even the West Acres mall and Moorhead Center Mall closed.
Not that it would have mattered. Many highways were closed and police and sheriff’s departments throughout the region advised no travel.
Interstate 29 was closed from the South Dakota border to Canada and Interstate 94 was closed from Jamestown, N.D., to Fergus Falls, Minn., throughout the day Sunday and into the evening.
