Via the Weather Network, the forecast for Ann Arbor, Michigan, site of the 2014 Winter Classic on Jan. 1 between the Red Wings and Maple Leafs:
All in all a pretty good forecast. The weather you really want to avoid before and during these outdoor games is rain, and it doesn’t look like there’s any chance of that. If there’s precipitation, it’s going to be snow.
