Chris Shaffer Family

When he was in sixth grade, his parents divorced. Shaffer’s family and friends are from Minnesota, and his grandma watches him on TV every night. When his family’s car was chased by a tornado near Maplewood, Minn., on their way to Grandma and Grandpa’s house in December, they spent the night snowed in at a church in Winthrop, Minn., hoping the blizzard would let them down so they could get to Redwood Falls and open their presents the next morning. Chris and his wife have relatives spread around the Twin Cities. With family in Pipestone, St. Cloud, Willmar, Sartell, and Blooming Prairie, it’s only natural to forecast for the entire region.
