RYAN BAKKEN: Winter is all downhill from here
A winter crest doesn’t mean that winter weather ugliness is over. Even into April, there’s a chance of blizzards and temperatures colder than Cruella De Vil. But it does mean the worst could be over, at least mathematically.

RYAN BAKKEN: A weekend to hunker in the bunker
Friday afternoon, I rushed home from work to beat the combination of Snowmageddon, Icemageddon and Whiteoutmageddon.

RYAN BAKKEN: Elvis, Cher, Prince and Judi
Few people qualify as being identifiable by only their first name. Entertainers lead the way, with the likes of Elvis, Cher, Prince, Madonna, Beyoncé and Liberace. There also are athletes like Tiger and Pelé and make-believe icons like Barbie and Ken.
