Robotics update from Duluth

The last item on my Friday night agenda...to post this! This is terrific news!

The B-B-E Resistance Robotics team won their last two matches of Friday's competition round. Their overall record is 4-3-1, and they've climbed to 25th place out of 63 teams. This is really phenomenal considering that this is by far the youngest, greenest robotics team that B-B-E has sent to Duluth since the team was founded in 2012.

I hope things go well in the morning. They are having a fantastic showing at the Lake Superior Regional.

**Update, urgent - please spread this message on Saturday morning!!!... the boys' basketball game against Upsala will NOT take place on Saturday. It will now be held on Monday, March 11 at 7:45 p.m. at Foley high school. Please spread the word!!!

More to come in the morning.

• Here's a copy/paste of winter weather information from the National Weather Service:

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect north of a line from 
St. James to Faribault to Eau Claire, and a Winter Weather 
Advisory continues for the rest of southern Minnesota today into 
early Sunday. 

Snow will move into western and southern Minnesota on Saturday 
morning, reach eastern Minnesota around midday, and spread across 
western Wisconsin during the afternoon and evening. Some rain, 
sleet, or freezing rain will mix with the snow at times today 
south of a line from Redwood Falls to the Twin Cities and Eau 
Claire. Snow rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are expected from 
west central into central Minnesota through early evening before 
easing tonight. The snow is expected to end by early morning 
Sunday. Snowfall totals of 6 to 12 inches are likely in the 
warning area, with the highest amounts over west central 
Minnesota. Snow totals of 2 to 4 inches along with light ice 
accumulations are expected in the advisory area across southern 
Minnesota where a longer duration of a wintry mix is possible. 
Strong northwest winds will develop tonight and Sunday morning 
with gusts of 40 mph possible across southern and western 
Minnesota. This will lead to areas of blowing and drifting snow, 
but widespread blizzard conditions are not currently expected. 
The Winter Storm Warning continues through Sunday morning across 
western and portions of southern Minnesota due to the potential 
for blowing snow.
