So a football game in a dome gets postponed. Snow on dome roof is a concern. Giants stranded in KC earlier today because of midwest storm.

Re: Somewhat OT: Giants-Vikes moved to Monday night
Weather out this way is brutal-- `18+ inches of snow in the last 24 hours, nasty winds to boot blowing it all over the place. Airport's been closed most of the day. Word's just coming out also apparently they tried to turn the heat up inside the dome with the hopes the snow would just melt and slide off... and it had the opposite effect with the weight of the wet snow actually collapsing the roof. I can't substantiate that, but many of my buds around the area are saying this.

Re: Somewhat OT: Giants-Vikes moved to Monday night
Dang it ... I finally get a chance to watch my dad's team (the vikes, usually I don't get their games) and this happens:
Quote:
This does not sound good - from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune which is calling the snowstorm "historic."
:
And for the first time in years, the snowstorm completely shut down Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. All four of the airport's runways were closed about 11:30 a.m. One reopened late Saturday afternoon, allowing flights to resume -- even though nearly all of the airlines serving the Twin Cities had canceled their operations.
As the blizzard continued to rage, airport managers were opening the runway for a half-hour, then closing it for 20 minutes so crews could plow off the newly fallen snow, said spokesman Pat Hogan.

I wonder if the game would have been postponed if it WASN'T in a dome.
Well, at least the Favre drama gets 24 more hours.

Re: Somewhat OT: Giants-Vikes moved to Monday night
Cool, what time are they playing? Would be sweet if they put it in so it's a double header to the ravens-texans monday night game.
EDIT:Appears its on fox and it will be at 8pm only for local areas to the giants and vikings.
Re: Somewhat OT: Giants-Vikes moved to Monday night
I can see the headline now, Ray Lewis and the vaunted Ravens defense go up against Matt Schaub as the texans try to keep their slim(very slim) playoffs hopes alive, then Eli Manning and the giants try to keep pace with the eagles as they take on the old gunslinger favre and the vikings. Ravens-Texans followed by Giants-Vikings!
Re: Somewhat OT: Giants-Vikes moved to Monday night
Random thoughts about this..
1) Too bad it gives Favre an extra day to see if he can play and be the center of attention.....
2) Eagles fans are excited that the Giants are stuck in Minneapolis and that the game is delayed until Monday night, meaning that the Giants don't get back to NJ until some time Tuesday because they play the Giants next Sunday ( 12/19) and the less time to prepare, the better for Philly.....
3) Were the Giants negligent in not pre-planning and making sure that they to there in time? The Dolphins flew up a day earlier to NJ preparing for inclement weather and many other teams adjusted their schedule to get to their destination. The NFL Constitution allows teams to recoup extra costs if a team is found negligent. It may cost the Vikings more by rescheduling the game and it sure is costing ESPN money. Instead of having the exclusive game tomorrow night (Balt @ Hou), fans can switch to NYG @ Minn on Fox...
Yes it was a blizzard but it wasn't Hurricane Katrina or a wildfire like the one that affected San Diego a few years back. This was a blizzard and in the Midwest in December, they happen and you plan ahead and get there earlier....They have charter jets so there is much more flexibility than the average traveler.

There was so much snow Minnesota snowplows were pulled off the roads because it was too dangerous. Major roads were closed in at least 5 Midwest states on Saturday.
