If meteorologists are to be believed, the snow will start tomorrow and whiten our highways, sidewalks and bike paths for many, many hours. Roadguy wants to know whether you’ll be partaking in any transportation over the weekend, and if so, what your survival strategy will be. And if you venture out and have a good story, please do come back here and share it.

Also, for something a little different, Roadguy wants your best guess as to the snowfall total. Guesses (in tenths of an inch) will be accepted in the comments section until noon Saturday; we’ll use the airport’s total at noon Sunday as our official number, and Roadguy will try to come up with some sort of prize (he said, glancing around his desk for something easy to mail).

Contest caveats:

• One guess per alert reader, and one alert reader per amount. The first alert reader to guess 3.2 inches, for example, gets to keep it. (We might run out of reasonable amounts, but hey, early bird gets the worm.)
• Be sure to use a real e-mail address when posting. (It’s not made public — I just need to be able to contact you.)
• No entries from anyone who’s met Roadguy in person — it’s the only way I can keep my mom and dad from participating.

Also, a reminder to keep alert for snow emergencies — it’s always good to know when the parking regulations kick in. The city of Minneapolis home page is here, St. Paul’s is here.

Good luck out there.
