No worries about canceling games up here. Only cancelled one day of school in 30 years of school. Blowing 60 with 0 visibility and 30 foot snow drifts. Of course after administration cancelled school it got nice.

Hey, I just realized that you are from Shishmaref! How goes the winter? I grew up on the Kenai Peninsula, and my dad worked for the FAA so he had to fly all over the state checking runways and emergency equipment. He would take my brother and I with him in the summers. So I've been to Shishmaref a couple of times - many years ago. Did they ever move the town, or is that still in the works?
