Currently there is a huge snowstorm shellacking the upper-Midwest. Minneapolis got 20 inches of heavy, wet snow over the past couple of days and it appears that, even with the best engineers on the case, sometimes Mother Nature is just determined to win. The roof of the Metro Dome collapsed during the night, causing the game between the Vikings and Giants to be moved to Detroit. While that stinks for the teams and the Minnesota home fans, it did give us the what may be the video of the year. The stadium had cameras running all night, so we got to watch the roof cave it. It's kind of awe-inspiring.
Now, as for the actual musical interlude for the week, this storm was so large it reached Chicago, where the Patriots were playing the Bears. And while watching two tough teams play in snow is really fun, it is more fun when the game is away and all that snow is not falling outside your front door. I'm sure I'll be shoveling soon enough, but for now I appreciate all we've got is rain.
