3 inches for the metro people is like a foot and half for us real people.

I hope it does not slow down the attendance for single A tourney.

Forecast for Robbinsdale has increased the projected totals to 4-8 inches overnight.

In Class A, the four squads + fans with the longest drive all play in the evening. So, hopefully they’ll be able to get some fans in the stands.

But, I do think the local attendance will fall given no one down here knows how to drive.

Ever notice how when anyone in the Metro makes even the slightest joke about outstate MN, the rural folks get al, um, rear-hurt; but it's fine for the hicks to slam the Metro whenever they want?

We don’t make the rules we just follow them.
And who is ‘al’?

We may tease our metro brethren but we do feel bad for you. It is one heck of a blizzard.
Hoping everyone is safe.

You’ll be alright. Trust me.

Also, I just got home from Cub foods in Crystal, about a 10 block drive for me. It was pretty brutal.

Hill Murray fans don’t need to worry about any storms.

OK, I'm tired and sore from shoveling. Need to stop procrastinating and get the snow blower fixed. :P

Hill looms over every tournament. Even when we don't make it, we get mentioned often.
