Don’t Rain On The Saints Parade!

A line of heavy rain is moving across Louisiana and the Southeastern United States Monday night into Tuesday morning. By the time the New Orleans Saints parade rolls through downtown, the rain will be east of New Orleans.
It won’t be picture perfect parade weather in the Big Easy, but the throngs of Who Dats waiting for a glimpse of Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Jeremy Shockey, Garrett Hartley or Tracy Porter won’t be dismayed by the cold weather. (I’m a fan of every player… love Scott Fujita, Pierre Thomas,Devery Henderson, Marques Colston, etc… but I can’t name every one!)
I’m imagining with the amount of people lining the route, there will be plenty of body heat to combat temperatures in the 40s and possible wind chills in the 30s.
Meanwhile, the storm system rolling through the Southeast will dump more snow on the Northeast when it combines with a storm over the Central Plains. D.C. is expecting another foot of snow in the next few days.
If you want to check out the storm totals from the weekend storm that left close to 3 feet of snow on the ground in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, click here.
Meanwhile, I’ll have more on the next snow storm tomorrow.
