Local duo take lead in standard doubles in Reno

Chad Reimer (Granite Falls) and Justin Weckwerth (Montevideo) come from small towns in western Minnesota where everyone knows your name. On Tuesday night at the National Bowling Stadium, they were able to put together a score of 1,136 to take the lead in Standard Doubles at the 2023 United States Bowling Congress Open Championships, giving the bowling world the chance to know their names.

Another potential storm on the way

This has been a very active month for snowfall so far in Minnesota. Of course, we told you at the start of the month that the 30 Day Outlook was calling for below normal temperatures but above normal precipitation for the month of March.

I think most of us have come to the point in winter where we don’t maybe pay as much attention to the forecast, kind of expecting winter to be done with its wrath by now. At least, I know that’s how I’ve been functioning.

Ask a Trooper

Question: Are smoked tail lights illegal in Minnesota? Answer: Minnesota law states that “tail lamps shall be plainly visible from a distance of 100 feet to the rear during normal sunlight and at night.” The same goes for turn signals and headlights. Smoking, tinting, covering or placing any material over tail lights, brake lights, headlights or turn signals would be illegal and unsafe as they would not be plainly visible.
