For those of you who don't speak metric -45C = -49F
I love football. I don't officiate it, but it is my favorite sport. However, it wasn't this past Friday. A local school here made it to the state finals and they played on Friday. I had that schools varsity games, also playing on Friday. The coach canceled the games (girls and boys varsity) so the players could go see the football game! On a positive note, they won!

We would have to cancel the basketball game because several of our basketball players play football.

On the other hand, our football team was 1-10 so there was NO chance of that happening!

SHeesh you all are lame. We get 2 feet of snow and don't close the schools. Make the little ba%78ds walk the three miles to school uphill too.

Gotta love Lake Effect Snow.
