This may not be a good thing, but things can change. Not too bad the day of but the rain a few days before may be rough on the ice.

Thirty-four degrees and partly cloudy would be fine for the Classic, but I'd rather have some clouds and snow flurries.

they said last night we were supposed to get 5-7 inches in the northtowns and didnt even get a dusting, weathermen rarely know exactly what coming. This far out from the ice bowl is basically a guess

If it feels like 31 and the actual temp is projected to be 32 then there must not be much wind forecasted, that is definitely a good thing.

It's shaping up nice. Weatherchannel.com has it @ high 30, low 21. 40% of precip. Depending on the wind, that would be absolutely perfect for an outdoor game.

Snow? No......I would think they would postpone if it is started snowing out during the game. They can't play on the ice with that. I hope it snows before and is very cold out. BY the game starts they snowblow it off and there good to go.

The actually said a little bit of snow would be fine, a major snow storm on the other hand would be a problem. Right now sounds like just flurries

Minimal snow fall would be awesome to see during the game...

The atmosphere of that place is what I really can't wait for...chills man.

Just have some shovels on the benches for commercial breaks. That's how it's done on ponds around the frozen world.
