A lot of games moved up from 7:30PM to 5:30 to 6:30PM in anticipation of a coming storm. 8 games by a quick count postponed in the area outright.

My game's still at 7:30PM.

Anyhow, I think there's a near 0% chance I'll be working tomorrow. I confirmed with the school that if the school day is canceled, so are all events. So I'll know early tomorrow. I'll be happier if it is canceled, actually, as my parents are due to fly in tomorrow night for the holidays and I would like to be able to get them at the airport (of course, who knows if they'll get here or not).

I Already Had That $168.88 Spent, No Presents For The Kids This Christmas ...
Connecticut. Six to twelve inches of snow due Friday, mid-day through rush hour. I already lost a boys high school varsity game Friday night, and a boys varsity prep school holiday tournament game on Saturday morning. I was looking forward to these games. My assigner is going to go crazy, Friday nights are the busiest nights for basketball here in the Constitution State.

I just got both games back, Sunday morning, and Monday night. $168.88 back in my pocket.

Prep school. This is a makeup due to tonight's snowstorm, originally scheduled for Saturday morning. Last year I had a prep school game originally scheduled on a Sunday afternoon.

Actually I do not see the big deal about Sunday like others might. It just does not happen in this state very often and when it there are games on Sunday, it is usually a tournament or shootout held off of a high school campus. I am even working a Christmas Tournament in about a week and they start the day after Christmas. It is a 4 day tournament and this year Sunday interrupts the tournament in the middle (first time this is the case since I have been working the tournament). Then we start up on Monday. There are certainly summer tournaments or leagues played on Sunday, not sure why this cannot be done during the regular season more often. I would really think this would be the case when you are trying to fit games into place.

Peace

Nice day yesterday and nice morning so far... but now they're calling for snow after lunch and very cold temps with 30 - 40 mph winds tomorrow. Glad I have a early afternoon game and only have to drive 4 minutes to the gym. Also hope roads are good for church tomorrow!
