MERRY CHRISTMAS! From all of us at Dakota Edge Outdoors, have a peaceful and and joyous Christmas!  The timing of tomorrow’s storm will allow you to enjoy the holiday and try out that new shotgun or ice rod that Santa dropped off. We give the system one more look and go around the horn in today’s Three Things.

DAY RATING:

THREE THINGS

DAY-AFTER DUMPING.  Models have a mark on southern ND with the system set to drop up to 10 inches on the bottom third of the state from Wednesday into Thursday, with a second round backfilling in later in the week and adding to the piles in the southeast corner.

 

GROWING GAINS. Sunset hits at 5PM tonight, as the evening hours grow lighter.  We’ll have to wait until Jan. 7 to gain time on sunrise, but our long crawl out of the darkness of winter has begun.

 

HOLIDAY TRIVIA.  While many Christmas songs mention deer, can you name the one that mentions pheasants? Click and select over the area after the colon for your answer: Mistletoe & Holly by Frank Sinatra.

…and to all a good night!  Stay Sharp!
