.@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.

🌩️ FIRST ALERT: Severe storms possible Thursday

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. #MNwx #WIwx

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! 😂 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

For Johnny. For the brotherhood. For America. 🇺🇸

#FreeBird #USAvsCan

A GOLDEN GOAL FOR GOLD!

GOLDEN ONCE AGAIN 🇺🇸🦅 #WINTEROLYMPICS

Good morning North Dakota and Minnesota! What temps do you have? #VNLFirstAlert #mnwx #ndwx

Yep, it's cold outside! #VNLFirstAlert #mnwx #ndwx #sdwx

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.

Some beautiful Sundogs near Rothsay, MN this morning! @spann @ValleyNewsLive @NWSGrandForks #mnwx #VNLFirstAlert #ndwx

@SunfishBreeze Hungarian Partridge I believe!

@torchaser What kind of birds, they look like quail.

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! #VNLFirstAlert #mnwx #ndwx #sdwx

I 29 southbound is closed at MM 164 (Clear Lake /Castlewood) exit and traffic is being diverted east on HWY 22 to SD 15, south to SD 28, back toward I29 to Exit 150 due to a crash. I29 southbound will remain closed until semi has been removed from roadway. #keepSDsafe

I love North Dakota. Just amazing tonight. @spann @NWSGrandForks @ValleyNewsLive #mnwx #ndwx #sdwx #NorthernLights
