However, given our unique physical location with respect to Lake Superior, I can not predict anything with regard to the weather for March 2013. We have already had our first snowfall of the season and tonight is cooking up another (however I think it is going to land in Canada this time). The flip side is it was over 70 degrees today. Yes, summer weather at lunch and winter weather for midnight snack.
My lamenting about the weather aside, I'll let you know more about Duluth. For the weekend of the Northern Lights/Lake Superior Regionals, you should expect:
--The nationally ranked UMD Bulldogs hockey team playing a weekend series with Nebraska at the same location as the regionals. Tickets are cheap and the arena still has that new ice smell.
--Several hotels within easy walking distance to the venue.
--Shipping season may be starting back up so big lakers (ships) could be coming into port right next to the dual FIRST fields.
--The option of a hotel with a fabulous waterpark just down the road.
--The easiest access to a US interstate anywhere (yes, I-35 starts in Duluth, MN at a STOP LIGHT
).
--Oh, and three local (from Duluth, MN teams) who could all tell you more about things to do, places to eat, and beds to sleep in.
--The MC for Northern Lights is Blair, need I say more?
--And finally, I will predict between 0 and 35 inches of snow that weekend (with our weather you just can't get much closer than that).
