Bill Clinton flew into Charlottesville and went in a motorcade to DC for the inauguration.

I then chanced across a VHF frequency that his staffers where chatting on with handheld radios. Interesting listening, but I wonder if anyone had told them that anyone could listen in. They said some things that would have been embarrassing to the President Elect. I then drove up to the Skyline Drive, drove north and listened to them on my two meter ham mobile nearly all the way to DC.

It can get addictive.

Great website to monitor air traffic control all over the US and many places around the world:

The pilot was timing overflights of US Bank Stadium from various reliever airports. There will be an overflight for tomorrow's game.

Literally, at least 2 military Humvees outside, checkpoints to get past on some roads and armed SWAT teams patrolling inside with assault rifles equipped with suppressors.

I am staying home. It has started snowing, and we expect 2-4" of snow by tonight. The traffic is already terrible, due to street closures. Things will get worse tomorrow. This is what things have come to, sadly.

"Daddy, just keep walking and ACT NATURAL!"

LOL

Avoidance is the best option, I'm certain. I just hope we don't get some wacko bent on mass casualties for this event. I do not want to hear about any such thing this weekend.

We live in St. Paul, in a neighborhood far from all of this. I plan to stay put, run my snowblower this afternoon, and monitor events on my TV.

I completely stayed at home, because we locals knew to either leave town, or stay at home.

Logistics were a nightmare here, so I would not be surprised to see it the same for the Super Bowl.

Most of the nation already hates the Patriots and are secretly rooting for the Eagles to completely dominate them, and send Brady off packing to retirement.

Honestly, I would have loved to see a hometown SuperBowl with the Vikes. Skol Vikings!
