Snow day cancellations
At this point almost every performance in the Twin Cities has been canceled. While a few venues insist they will continue performances as planned, they are willing to exchange tickets for those who are uncomfortable braving the weather. And really,IMHO, in this weather you shouldn't be attending a performance unless it's within walking distance of your house. And you own sled dogs.
