Boy, is she gonna be in for a shock!! When I told her I was good at moving, down south that means mixing a drink, and supervising everyone else!! 
But I am glad to see how the forecast is looking there for the weekend! Believe it or not, it's about 19 degrees here now. aucarol <-----not wanting to get out of this warm bed to go to work.
Put me down as a maybe. Due to too much snow insulating the ice on Mille Lacs (and preventing it from becoming thicker) this may the the first January Friday in a decade I won't be in my fish house. So if they can't get my house out this weekend, I'll be there. Otherwise...walleyes beware!
My last Minneapolis birthday celebration was January 4, 1988. Sorry I won't be there, in person.

Not in my fish house. At 10' x20' with a 30,000 BTU furnace, carpet, paneling, 2 queen sized bunks, a sofa, an underwater camera that rotates via a remote wired to a monitor, a 2 burner stove, indoor bathroom, and a huge grill outside the door...you might feel right at home. I keep the temp at 70 degrees F, all the time. And yes, I do fish too.
Put me down as a yes. The overnight report from Mille Lacs was no change in the ice (booo!).

I'm looking so forward to seeing everyone I know again, and meeting the others!! And I checked the forecast----not too bad at all!! (That's a Yay for me.)
BTW----didn't know ice fishing could be so comfy!!

Ah, life is good in Minnesota. And those silly southerners just think it's cold here.

Update: aucarol's 2nd flight pushed back early & is now in the air, ETA is 7:12 (24 mins. early). So we should be good to go with everything on schedule this evening.
It appears that aucarol's first flight actually left on time -- this is no small feat for America's Sorriest Airline -- and is now approaching ATL looking for a place to roost.
But good grief, man, this thing has propellors. How quaint.
