• MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- After enduring last year's snowless winter, skiers and snowmobilers may have despaired of ever seeing a decent snowfall again.
• But fans of the wintry outdoors got their wish this weekend when a slow-moving storm dumped up to 16 inches of snow on parts of the Upper Midwest.
• "With global warming in the back of your mind, you think, 'Jeez, is it ever going to snow again?' " John Munger of Minneapolis said Monday after a morning of cross-country skiing in a western Twin Cities park.
• The dearth of snow has been tough on cross-country skiers, said Munger, who heads The Loppet Foundation -- the "evangelists of cross-country skiing," as he explains it.
• The Twin Cities saw only meager bursts of snow this season before the weekend storm, and the Twin Cities' heaviest snowfall last winter was 4.2 inches on Dec. 3.
• But with the fresh blast, "I think people are pretty excited," he said.
