.@USAHockey - let's make neck guards mandatory. I was Luke's coach, and I do not want to have another coach or parent or player go through what we had to go through that day.
๐๐EXCLUSIVE: A normal hockey practice turned into a nightmare for 9-year-old Luke Solseng after he collided with a teammate, taking an ice skate to the neck. But his injury has now led to major safety changes for several local hockey players.

Some neat looking storms this evening. Nothing severe, just a good thunderstorm. More storms are possible overnight (after sunset). #VNLFirstAlert#mnwx#ndwx#sdwx
Ahh, the first day of spring! Soon, the flowers will start to bloom, the birds will appear, and the grass will start to grow! Who else is excited for spring and summer? #VNLFirstAlert#MNwx#NDwx#SDwx
We continue to actively monitor the potential for the biggest snow storm of the season for some this Sat & Sun. Most will see at least a few inches, w/ double-digit totals possible w/i the band of heaviest snow.

Confidence is high in significant impacts to travel conditions and infrastructure from blizzard conditions as well as very high winds to 60 mph across portions of eastern ND and northwest into west-central MN. #ndwx#mnwx
Happy Mario Day! Why? Today's date of MAR 10 looks an awful lot like MARIO! ๐ I just love silly holidays!
Our world won't quite look like Mario's. We have more gray sky than blue today with later snow chances. A good staying in and playing video games! #VNLFirstAlert#ndwx#mnwx
Blizzard conditions will develop Sunday morning from northwest to southeast. The map shows the time winds will rapidly begin to pick up. Blizzard conditions should start thereafter. Travel will be dangerous to impossible from Sunday morning through the evening hours. #NDwx#MNwx
Planning on travel in open country to area events this afternoon and evening? A blizzard warning is now in effect for the northern Red River Valley until 6am. Be prepared for difficult to near impossible travel in the highlighted areas. #ndwx#mnwx
Ever wonder how we diagnose precipitation type?
Our morning upper air balloon sounding sheds some light on the process while looking at a vertical slice of the atmosphere.
While rain is not falling yet, we expect to see a similar sounding this evening, with saturation aloft.
My bird friends are back on this snowy and cold day! It also looks like they may be around a while as they have buried themselves in the snow!
