Cabin Traffic Begins

This was the scene from a MNDOT web cam on I-94 Friday evening. Construction isn't helping the situation here, but you don't want to be stuck here... UGH!


Despite the traffic, some people REALLY want to go fishing.


I know you'll be excited, but make sure you take the time to drop the boat in the right direction - Good grief.


Great News for the 2010 Fishing Opener:

We certainly have had our fair share of wild MN Fishing Openers, but 2010 will NOT feature anything like this...


After such a cloudy, cool and wet week, it'll be nice to see some sunshine and mild temperatures this weekend. Take a look at these graphics, which represents the weather at 4pm Saturday CDT:
