Hey Duluth people!

Do you want the Vikings to make their new stadium in your neck of the woods? Its being proposed by a Rep or Senator (can't remember).

I for one could not care less. They suck, and I've never been a fan.

Here are the pros:

If the stadium was to be made up North, it would stimulate the economy, greater and more efficient transportation capabilities from the metro to Duluth would be made, you Northerners would be able to purchase alcohol on Sundays ($$ to pay for the stadium) and thousands of jobs would be created.

Cons: I'm not a fan so I have none

Send them to LA for all I care.

If it can work in Green Bay, why not Duluth? Stick a nice stadium along the lakefront and teach the rest of the league what winter is really like.

But given where my loyalties lie I may be a bad person to ask.

You're a Yankee and Packer fan...

Your opinion is in question from the get go.

Not me. Work almost always screws this up. Will find some bar with big screen TV's if East gets to State and makes it to the final.

Work on a Saturday, even?

As usual, Spring Break lines up with the tourney for me...back to Duluth on the day after the section final, then down to St. Paul on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

I will be there.

In the same section and seat as years past.

Just as I was looking forward to a possible early spring:

AN IMPORTANT STORM THREATENS THE ENTIRE AREA WITH A POSSIBILITY
OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW...STRONG ONSHORE WINDS AND UNSEASONABLE
COLD WITH RAPIDLY FALLING TEMPERATURES SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
HEAVY DRIFTING AND BLOWING OF THE SNOW WOULD ALSO RESULT IN A
POTENTIAL OF MAIN ROADS BECOMING BLOCKED AND IMPASSIBLE IN A SHORT
TIME. THE GREATEST RISK FOR AN INTENSE COMBINATION OF ALL THESE
ELEMENTS INCLUDE THE DULUTH AND SUPERIOR AREA...THE NORTH SHORE OF
LAKE SUPERIOR TO TACONITE HARBOR AND ABOUT 30 MILES INLAND...AND
NORTHWEST WISCONSIN FROM SUPERIOR TO THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE
BAYFIELD PENINSULA UP TO ABOUT 40 MILES INLAND.

THE MODELS CONTINUE TO DIFFER...WITH THE EUROPEAN AND TO A CERTAIN
EXTENT ONE OF OUR MID-RANGE MODELS EVENTUALLY BRINGING THE STORM
CENTER CLOSE TO DULUTH WHICH WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY LULL IN
THE WINDS SUNDAY EVENING AND SIGNIFICANT SNOW OCCURRING DURING A
8 HOUR PERIOD BEFORE AND ANOTHER 8 HOUR PERIOD AFTER SUCH A LULL.
THE CANADIAN AND TO A GREATER EXTENT OUR LATEST HIGH-RESOLUTION
GRID-MODEL...KEEP THE LOW TRACKING JUST TO OUR SOUTH WITH RAPID
INTENSIFICATION AS IT PASSES. SUCH A SCENARIO WOULD RESULT IN
UNINTERRUPTED STRONG ONSHORE WINDS AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAPIDLY
ACCUMULATING SNOW. ONE HISTORIC FEATURE OF THE VERY STRONGEST
STORMS...CONSIDERING THAT LAKE SUPERIOR IS STILL OPEN WATER AND
TEMPERATURES MIGHT WIND UP BEING QUITE COLD...IS HEAVY FREEZING
SPRAY FROM HUGE WAVES ON THE LAKE BEING BLOWN INTO AND ACROSS TOWN
AND A NUMBER OF MILES INLAND. THERE IS NO INDICATATION...YET...
THAT THIS STORM MIGHT BECOME THAT INTENSE BUT THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH A THING CANNOT QUITE BE TOTALLY RULED-OUT AT THIS TIME.

Have fun up North, Lee.

Metro is now projected to only get a trace to an inch.

Flannel counties on the other hand, 4"-7".

Best of luck, Lee.

Hopefully you'll survive the storm coming your way.

12"-18" ! Fun!

That's for areas like St. Cloud. We're supposed to get "only" 5-8". I expect it to peter out, just like the last storm which only gave us 3.2".

Interesting.

According to some of my weather sources, Duluth is suppose to get a more than healthy accumulation of snow Tuesday to Wednesday.

Regardless, I suspect some section games to be postponed.

For your sake, I hope my sources and I are incorrect. In addition, I hope the forecast for the metro area is overkill. During the early hours of today, I already saw county and city crews preping with salt.

Keep your fingers crossed, Lee.

Lee,

Just spoke with a meteorologist friend of mine and he has said the storm is not as bad as anticipated. Yay!

However, we are still under a winter storm warning until midday Wednesday.

I am not sure about your neck-of-the-woods; however, the Metro area will see 1" to 3" of snow Tuesday with some rain showers overnight. And Wednesday, we will see 1" to 2" of snow.
