WEATHER REPORT:
(11:00am CST, Wednesday 12/31/08)
Saturday - Mostly cloudy with a 50 percent chance of snow. Highs around 20.

Saturday Night - Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow in the evening...then partly cloudy with a slight chance of snow after midnight. Lows around 10 above. Chance of snow 30 percent.

Sunday - Partly cloudy. Highs around 15.

Obviously, this is wayyyy early to think about the actual temps on Sunday, but the idea of a majorish snow thing on Saturday is pretty solid at this point.
For those driving from Out-of-Town, I might plan on a little extra travel time on Saturday.

30% is not very good.

That's Saturday Night.
It's 50% during the day on Saturday.

It says light snow. How many inches is that?

Look - they are loathe to make predictions of inches 4 days out.
But BOTH the guy on Channel 4 last night AND the guy on Channel 4 this AM said "We're watching a potentially major snow event for Saturday".

That's the best I can do at this point.

Good thing I am driving up Friday. Those weather people are so helpful and right.
:P

We're driving to Alexandria on Friday, and then Minny Sunday morning.
I am guessing that we should be fine.

A True fan will drive thru anything, for a game like this..... ;D

You should of seen what I drove through for the Atlanta game!

I would seriously think about flying out for this one, and I was suprised when the wife said I could go, earlier this AM...But I told her,if the Vikings win this week, I'de much rather save our money so I can go to the NFC Playoff game in NY.......So you guys and gals better be load, and cheer us to a win against the Eagles.

Hate to tell you this Ned, but when the Vikings win this week, they will be traveling to Carolina next week.
The only way they will face New York is in teh NFC Championship game.

Nodak, after reading that, I went to NFL.com and looked at the post season sched....Your correct sir, if we win, we play Carolina, and would meet only in NY if the Vikings beat Panthers and the Cards or Atl, loss to the Giants.......man, now I' stuck, do I fly down to NC to watch the Panthers game with my Dad, or pray for another win and a Giants win, and go to NY then?......Tough Call
