WE HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF SUNSHINE AS OF LATE, BUT VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND IN FACT THIS COLD SPELL IS GOING TO LAST INTO NEXT WEEK.

RIGHT NOW IN BEMIDJI, IT IS 4 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

AT THE STUDIO, WINDS ARE NORTHWEST AT 13 MILES PER HOUR.

WE DID SEE A TRACE OF SNOW.

WE HAD SOME FLURRIES AND LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

OUR CURRENT WINDCHILL IS DOWN TO -13.

IN BRAINERD, WE HAVE FAIR SKIES, IT'S 9 DEGREES, A DEW POINT OF 1.

NORTHWEST WINDS ARE AT 10 MILES PER HOUR, AND THAT IS GIVING US A WINDCHILL OF -5.

LOOKING AT THE RADAR, IT IS PRETTY QUIET ON THE RADAR PICTURE.

AGAIN, WE HAVE HAD SOME SCATTERED FLURRIES OUT THERE AND WE COULD CONTINUE TO SEE SCATTERED FLURRIES OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE.

OTHERWISE, PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, OUR LOW TEMPERATURE FOR MANY OF US WILL DROP BELOW ZERO OVERNIGHT, BUT IT WILL WARM UP TOMORROW.

WE ARE LOOKING AT HIGHS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE VIEWING AREA BUT WE WILL HAVE SUNSHINE.

PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, COLD TEMPERATURES AGAIN TOMORROW NIGHT AND WITH THE WINDS ADDED TO THAT, WE COULD SEE THE WINDCHILLS IN THE 20s, TO POSSIBLY NEAR -30.

BEMIDJI TODAY, A LITTLE BIT ON THE CHILLY SIDE WITH A HIGH OF ONLY 7, WE ARE WELL BELOW THE AVERAGE OF 18.

THE LOW THIS MORNING WAS AT 1, VERY CLOSE TO OUR AVERAGE LOW TEMPERATURE, SUNRISE THIS MORNING AT 8:07.

HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, AGAIN WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE SUNSHINE, PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA, BUT LOOK AT THOSE TEMPERATURES.

IT IS GOING TO BE COLD WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM 0 TO 5 ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR VIEWING AREA.

AS WE HEAD INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA, A LOT OF SUNSHINE, BUT THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE COLD.

WE ARE LOOKING AT 5 TO MAYBE CLOSE TO 10 FOR OUR HIGH TEMPS.

ON THE PLUS SIDE, WE WILL BE SEEING THE SUNSHINE THIS WEEKEND.

OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, A CHANCE FOR FLURRIES IN EASTERN MINNESOTA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

OUR LOWS WILL DROP TO ABOUT -4.

FOR TOMORROW, PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, HIGHS NEAR 4, NORTHWEST WINDS COULD PICK UP AT 5 TO 20 AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE COLD TEMPERATURES AND COLD WINDCHILLS STARTING TOMORROW NIGHT.

LOOKING AT OUR WEEKEND FORECAST, AS I MENTIONED, THE SUN WILL BE OUT THIS WEEKEND, BUT IT WILL BE COLD.

HIGHS WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, ABOVE AND BELOW 0, AND OUR OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE TEENS BELOW 0.

SO SATURDAY MORNING, SUNDAY MORNING, LOOK TO BE IN THE 20s TO POSSIBLY CLOSE TO -30.

COLD WEATHER CONTINUES AS WE HEAD INTO THE WORKWEEK, BUT WE SHOULD SEE MORE CLOUD COVER MONDAY AND TUESDAY, HIGHS ON TUESDAY AGAIN RIGHT AROUND 4.

>>> WELL, BSU HOCKEY FANS LOOKING TO BUY TICKETS IN THE NEW YEAR MAY HAVE NOTICED A DIFFERENCE IN PRICES WHEN PURCHASING ON TICKETMASTER OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS.

TICKET PRICES DID NOT ACTUALLY GO UP BUT A NEW LAW WENT INTO EFFECT AS OF JANUARY 1ST, FORCING ALL ONLINE TICKETING PLATFORMS TO NOW INCLUDE ALL FEES UPFRONT WHEN SHOWING THE PRE-TAX TICKET PRICING.

THE MINNESOTA TICKET LAW, AS IT'S CALLED, WAS CREATED TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY BY SHOWING THE ACTUAL COST OF TICKETS, CREATING A BETTER BUYING EXPERIENCE FOR CONSUMERS WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY SURPRISED BY FEES ADDED ON AT CHECKOUT.

SO TO PUT IT SIMPLY, EXTRA FEES HAVE NOT BEEN ADDED BY TICKETMASTER.

THEY ARE JUST NOW INCLUDED IN THE PRICE YOU SEE WHEN BUYING TICKETS ON THEIR WEBSITE.
