Snow cancellations
 Here in Western Washington, we rarely have any snow issues. However, a surprise snowstorm has paralyzed us. My original schedule was a boys game tonight, a girls game tomorrow and then a boys game Thursday. Tonight's and tomorrow's games are already cancelled. Freezing temps forecast through Thursday and the roads are a mess so Thursday's is in doubt too. What a start to the season. 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.

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"....

As Juulie said, we've beem lucky in Portland so far.....it's cold, but little accumulation on the valley floor. Tomorrow should be OK, but Thursday could be a little dicey as they're forecasting the possibility of freezing rain.

 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.

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