Nordic Ski Meet
Tammy Hallgren, mother of Brainerd Warrior Nordic skiers Gabe and Elijah, helps with the Central Lakes Conference Championship Nordic ski meet Thursday, Feb. 2, 2023, in the Northland Arboretum. Hallgren attached moleskin to her cheeks to protect her skin from frostbite in the cold temperatures. The National Weather Service reported the air temperatures may drop to 25 degrees below in the region into Friday morning. Dangerously cold wind chills Thursday night and through Friday morning are expected to be 30-50 degrees below zero.
