(checks Veterans Day forecast) 

Sigh.

[sioux rube]

Forecast calls for below normal temps and above amount of snow

Looks like our nice tailgating weather is over for 2022.

Perfect weather inside the Alerus to let out some energy though!

Is it a good thing when the regional map here looks like a tie-dyed t-shirt?

We’re still planning to tailgate.  Tradition, you know.

It'd be a crime not to.

Need to keep the beer in the cooler to keep it from freezing.

What are you talking about.  The weather for the home playoff game on November 26th is going to be great!!

Sorry for your anguish.    I'll see on the replay which Denver guy hit you from behind.  

Here in the Twin Cities, it's still 60 F and my neighbor's Go Sioux flag is flying proudly from a stiff south wind.

Right now in Oakdale it's 68...29 miles west 40.

With cold weather comes the need to fill propane for the patio heaters (tailgating) and buddy heaters for fishing....

Where's a good place to fill 20lb tanks in Grand Forks?

Use to be the cenex on south Washington.  Don't think they do it anymore.  Funny thing is, propane exchanges haven't changed prices in the last year. Anyone know why that hasn't increased along with gas prices? Seems weird. (But I'm ok with it)

Residential propane average price per gallon has been pretty steady for many years now.

$2 x 3.5 gallons = $7.

The propane exchanges underfill tanks.

Should cost $7 instead of $25.

.....now where to find a place that sells propane that cheap! 

[Cratter]

Real preppers only need three items: 

1) Gasoline

2) Propane

3) Whiskey

Menards exchange is one of the cheaper places in town. In and out no waiting.

Tried that route for a bit last year, being impressed with the "pay at the machine" feature.

But after going many different times...I must have had bad luck, because that feature never worked for me.

Snow-nami.
Snow-pacalypse.
Snow-mageddon. 

Or will it be another round of ... ice-ice baby. 

When'll they start closing local schools? 

A source tells me NDSU has activated their < dramatic intro here: bah-buh-BAH! > WET -- Weather Event Team* -- to track the weather and its potential impacts on finals week. 

NDSU ... we always knew, they're all WET.  

 

*My guess? They monitor UND's Atmospheric Sciences skycam for updates and keep refreshing weather.gov/fgf .
