Winter Classic 2011: Heinz Field Rink Build Continues, Forecast Still Predicting Rain

Your Tuesday morning, Winter Classic-is-four-days-away weather update: Weather.com is calling for temperatures around 47 degrees Fahrenheit and a 50 percent chance of rain.

It looks as though the rain should taper off as night falls, so perhaps the game could be played under the lights at Heinz Field instead of the scheduled 1 p.m. Eastern start time, as scheduled. That’s only if this current forecast holds, of course.

Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, the NHL continues to build the rink atop the football field. NHL.com has a live web cam on the site which you can see right here:

For more on the game, visit our Capitals blog, Japers’ Rink, our Penguins blog, Pensburgh, and our regional sites, SB Nation Pittsburgh and SB Nation DC.
