All of this snow and blowing has many frustrated, tired and now it is forcing businesses to close. It was an unusual site at the andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/wal-martandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Wal-Martandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; in andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/minot-ndandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Minotandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; today, January 11th, empty parking lots and signs on the doors asking customers to go away, at least for a little while. The store closed down this morning due to snow amounts on the roof.
