We start off Tuesday on a rather cold Twin Ports morning, temps are around 17 degrees, and it's a bit windy.  Cathy and I reviewed the weather for Thanksgiving travel and it looks pretty good for the midwest.   Out east there may be some storms, and in a shocking turn of events, Cathy got most of the geography somewhat right today.
