The good news is that my 4-year old boy thinks he's died and gone to heaven because dad can't get to work and we have a great sledding hill beside the house.
Same boat as you, my girls game was cancelled last night and my boys games for today were called

BTW, what association are you working for?

Weather is supposed to turn nasty down here late tomorrow night and into Thursday. No cancellations yet, but last year when we iced over (barely) games were canceled fast. Since Thursday includes tournaments, if it is iced over, some districts will cancel and others won't.

People make fun of Texans because we can't drive on ice and school districts close down if somebody's brother in law even hears of freezing precips. I don't have a problem with that. Our roads aren't built for the ice, we don't have salt trucks, nobody can drive well on that stuff, and we don't need to be running kids in buses on it. The school districts have a couple of snow days built in for that purpose, so close down at will. We can make up the games if need be.

someone ask about "global warming"? it's here in chicago - the temp. has not gotten below 50 degrees at any point in the last 60 hours. of course we're supposed to get a fair amount of snow overnight Thursday into Friday....

as we say in chicago: "if you don't like the weather, wait a minute - it WILL change"....

You NorthWest guys/gals are having it rough right now. Returned just last night from a week in Tumwater holding my 7-week old grandson for the first time!!! He's a real cutie -- takes after his grandpa. Rained 4 days and snowed 3 days. Left Tumwater at 3:30 am for 7:50 am flight to VA, and got to the gate 5 minutes before they closed the door. I-5 was riduculous just south of Sea-Tac. I know you guys don't use salt for envioronmental reasons, but it was surprising to not see sand or some sort of thing on the interstate.

I heard on the radio on the way to Sea-Tac about all of the school closings, and I mentioned to my wife that a lot of sports would have to be rescheduled.

Next week my a$$! Try tomorrow night - there's a chance of 2 - 5". Depending on where the snow hits, there might be chance for some Fri. closings.

But I'm enjoying the current weather while it lasts. Then I'll finally get to put away my Hawaiian shirts 'till next spring.

Maybe I should update my weather ticker...that might help! Holy smokes, you're right..... 2 - 5" tomorrow night. Everyone let's sing:
... the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
