Attention Green Bay Readers

Your shovels are needed.

The Green Bay Packers issued a "snow shovel advisory" Friday afternoon. Fresh snowfall is expected Friday and Saturday, just before the Packers host the last game of the season at Lambeau Field.

General manager Ted Thompson will decide at 5 a.m. Saturday whether volunteers are needed to shovel the Packers stadium.

The decision will be posted on the Green Bay Packers web site and, new this year, a "snow shovel hotline," (920) 569-7100 after the decision is made.

If volunteers are needed, they should gather at the Mills Fleet Farm gate at Lambeau Field starting at 9 a.m. Shovels will be supplied, and the Packers are paying $8 an hour.

Volunteers must be 15 or older.

This is actually one of the coolest thing the Packers do. Yeah, the season hasn't been that great, but your help would be appreciated up at Lambeau.

Plus, it's $8 an hour.

UPDATE - The Packers have announced that shovelers will not be needed.
