With Christmas and Mississippi State football in the St. Petersburg Bowl coming up, how does the weather look for Bulldogs?

Well we all know that the St. Petersburg Bowl is played in a dome at Tropicana Field, but what about the Christmas forecast? Well I’ve got you covered there, as well as weather at the home of Santa Claus. That’s right, we’re looking at the North Pole (Alaska, that is).

Although the game is being played indoors, there’s still tailgating and travel weather to look at, and we’re going to have fun with it. When have I ever NOT have fun with a forecast? Go ahead, I’ll wait. Anyway, before we get into the forecast, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year on behalf of everyone here at Maroon and White Nation.
