Based on what I know about you, you are much older.

I remember times when I was in HS where we barely played any games because of rain and it was really hot and cold over the spring. And I do remember snow in March. Also the year before it snowed like twice where there snow actually stayed on the ground all winter and that trend went into spring. And as someone that works another sport and has to drive, last year was great from a weather point of view. And it has snowed in March and April in the past. I do remember springs very similar. I should know because my childhood home’s basement used to get flooded for years as a result of the precipitation. It just is rare to have all the snow late in the year. Then again it is not the snow in March and April that has wiped out many of the games around here. Maybe up north there has been a little more snow, but not where I am located.

Oh well, that is why I only expect to work half of my baseball games in the first place. For a couple of years, that has not been the case where you hardly get a day off because it is so dry. Now Mother Nature has come back around.

Peace
