Just in time for your year-end parties, temperatures will drop to zero, and the wind chill factor could be in the negative double digits. That's potentially dangerous for revelers.
So you think it's OK to get drunk for New Year's Eve because you're not driving? Don't be so sure. Not getting behind the wheel may keep you out of jail, but the weather authorities are now adding a warning about another danger: tonight's extremely low temperatures. In central Dakota County, it'll be about zero, with a wind chill factor in the double-digit-below-zero range. That's cold enough to cause hypothermia and frostbite among those who aren't properly attired with a good hat and gloves. Say, people whose imbibing early in the evening gives them a sense of artificial invulnerability? In that case, just walking down a street could be dangerous. The warning gets stronger as you get further south. In Northfield, for instance, the wind…
This New Year's Dakota County has plenty to offer, even for complete teetotalers.
Don't want to drink? Have no fear. For New Year's 2013, Eagan, Apple Valley and other south metro cities will have plenty for you to do. The gap-toothed comedian is back by popular demand. "Big Baby Boomer, came from the love of food, the hatred towards exercising, the results of Father Time but mostly my joy of stand-up comedy, which I think should have been called sit down comedy. It's a show that's big on laughs and has zero calories, it will be the best ab work you've done in a long time!" Louie Anderson stated in a press release. Anderson will perform two shows back-to-back at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center on NYE. The first show begins at 7:30 p.m. followed by an encore at 10. Prices range from $31.95 to $71.95 per ticket. …

But there are plenty of other options for visitors, including two miles of candlelit hiking, live animals, kids activities, a s'mores buffet and a strolling magician. The ball drops on this event at 7:59 p.m. Cost: $8 in advance or $10 at the door. To register, visit www.dakotacounty.us, and search "New Year’s Eve."

Ring in the New Year with these five ideas.
New Year's Eve is a perfect time to spend time with close friends and family, and to celebrate a new upcoming year. Whether you spend it at home, at a friend's house or out at a restaurant or bar, I have some surefire ways to encourage a safe and fun time for all. 1. Dress for the occasion. New Year's Eve is the perfect excuse to wear something flashy, whether you're a male or female. Find something that's either been hiding in your closet, or go out and get a new outfit (there are a lot of sales going on right now). Glam your look up with some equally special jewelry or a scarf. 2. Pick out a bottle of alcohol (or a nonalcoholic beverage) to share. If you are headed to a friend or family's house for the evening, make sure to stop at a …
