No helicopters needed?

Just because there's snow falling on Tulsa and Grand Lake, no one should start thinking about helicopters to get the Classic competitors to the official weigh-ins, or some such, like The Rolling Stones' appearance at Altamont.

 

Thursday's weather forecast isn't much better than today's. But no one will be going to the lake; it's media day in Tulsa.

 

The latest forecast for the three-day tournament is as follows:

 

Friday: High 37, low 20, 0% precipitation possibility, NW winds at 8 mph;

 

Saturday: High 48, low 25, 10% precip., S winds at 3 mph;

 

Sunday: High 65; low 34, 0% precip., SSE winds at 16.

 

The air will be chilly most days, but the roads between Grand Lake and Tulsa should be clear, although Friday's takeoff could be a bit dicey.
