ROAD TRIP PREVIEW

An alarming weather forecast has resulted in our decision to delay our trip to MN by one day. [We plan to visit Nathan, Laura, Calvin, & Claire in Eagan.] We've been following the forecasts on wunderground pretty closely for the last week. Worthington, MN, is on our route to the Twin Cities, & their forecast is for almost 8" of snow on FRI, the day we originally planned to leave. The forecast for Eagan is for almost 3" of snow, also on FRI. So, we are disappointed that our road trip will be delayed, but I reluctantly conclude that it's a good decision to delay.
