Please take extreme care if you have to face something like this tomorrow! We want all of you to make it back home safely

Even with ABS in a 4WD Van it is not hard to slide on ice that we have here in Minnesota.

Remember that 4WD does not make you invincible. Everyone who drives in snow tomorrow showing up late to the kickoff but healthy is better than showing up to the hospital injured and hoping they have the NASA channel or worse.

I have gotten pretty used to driving on snow with the ridiculous amount we have had so far this year but you always get surprised by ice in unusual spots and snow drifts.

Minnesota tomorrow - Partly cloudy in the morning then clearing. Highs around 10 above. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Lowest wind chill readings 15 below to 25 below zero in the morning.

Time to break out the parka.
