Depends on the year.

JUCO and college are playing then and when the weather is too rough, they just migrate a bit to the south....Richland, Kennewick area sometimes (about 130 miles away) or Lewiston, Idaho.

We are used to early season games being played in cold weather. The only problem is the occasional year when it's still snowing then.

Hell, even high school starts March 8 this year.

Winters here are not like they are back east or in the mid-west. The temperatures can equal the worst, but the amount of snow is piddling compared to when I lived near Lake Ontario.
