Boy is it COLD
 

Tonight I have 1hr and 15 min drive to my game and game time temp should be about -5 with wind chill. Tommorrow morning they are calling for -25 degree temps. I hope the heat is working, either that or I am wearing my jacket the whole game!

Hope you all have a good game tonight! What you all got?

I have a varsity girls game tonight (3 whistle crew)

Have a good game(s)

Another Night of Law and Order Reruns
 

Rats.
Third cancellation due to weather this week. Friday's and Tuesday's 3-man frosh/JV doubleheaders cancelled due to snow and blizzard conditions. Same with tonight's 2-man JV game. Our whole tri-county area has pretty much cancelled all its games.
The problem I have is fighting off the slight accumulation of rust that gathers from so many nights off. Tomorrow's games will take some additional pre-game steps to knock off that iron oxide.
Same with you? Or don't you mind cancellations like I do?

Canceled, dangerous wind chills. The entire southern Wisconsin area has the day off of school.

Off to England. My next game isn't until the 28th. Good time for a little break before the final push.

My game on Wednesday was moved to tonight. Then the game was cancelled. It will be interesting to see if I have games over the weekend.

Peace

We don't have many games going on around here either...Currently the temp is -21 with a wind chill of -43. It's stupid cold

Was 15 below this morning in Iowa and Nebraska...I have a boys reserve 2-whistle game tonight, still on. I grew icicles on my nose running from my classroom building to the admin building a few minutes ago, still picking them off!

Got a GV game tonight -- should be tough drive. The sun will be setting around 530 and it will start to get chilly. Supposed to drop below 60 tonight! I might have to break out the light jacket to keep warm.

Sunny wishes.

Don't Gamble on the Weather -- An Idea
 

You know, what they ought to do is have each casino around here (and they're popping up all over!) build a gymnasium. Schedule all the high school basketball games in casinos. Those things never close for any reason.
Then again, maybe there's a NFHS prohibition against registered officials visiting a casino.
No, wait. That's the NBE.
The casino deal sounds like a good gamble to me! :D

That is some good stuff right there.

Interesting. Our bad weather - snow, ice, and then flooding when it all melted - seems to be over for now. I lost 4 games due to it all. My HS sons played Monday, and have games tonight, Friday, Saturday, next Monday, and Tuesday - all trying to get in the make-up games before the league season ends. Gonna be some tired kids in that last game!

Cold is not our issue anymore. It is to warm. I know, I know, lucky right. From -20 to 40+ in a day just makes for bad conditons. All Anchorage schools and Valley schools were closed yesterday and today I think. We will see if they cancell more games tonight. I was just feeling bad for the guys who were loosing games and thought, that never happens here. Now I feel bad for myself:rolleyes:

gotta drive 3 hours for a JuCo game Saturday. Temp there will be high of 18 Friday and 24 Saturday but there is no precipitation in the forecast so I don't think I will encounter any problems.

Where I live the high will be 26 on Friday but dry so no cancellations expected.

It's been around 50 (above, not below) here in Portland for over a week and it's supposed to continue that way for a while. Not even any rain! Weird.

This week is exam week for first semester in the Toledo Public School Dist. (TPS) and when I took Andy to school this morning, the Weather Channel Desk Top temperature on the family computer here in lovely residential area of the western area of Toledo, Ohio read: -9F.

It is currently +10F as I write this.

I've had cancellations the last 2 nights due to the extreme cold temps. Hoping to get at it again tomorrow.

south florida is cold today too, it only got in the 60's BRRRRRRRRR

I had to wear a long sleeve shirt with my shorts

yeah i had to wear a sweater. It was a tough call. I decided to leave my shorts and sandals on.:p

I like that!

A bit of a chill here in your nation's capital. We're certainly not used to this......but, basketball is the least of our worries.

With the Inauguration just around the corner and all its associated events upcoming, we're supposed to have a few million of our "bestest friends" arriving from all over the world to enjoy our grid lock, wonderful temps, and to just keep us company over the next few days. JOY! :(

Stay away from DC! DANGER, Will Robinson! DANGER!! Everyone stay warm!

I hear ya Deecee . . . I had to endure a "blistery" 66 on my drive to games last night. At one point I felt the need to even roll down the sleeves on my shirt. I didn't mind you, but I did FEEL the need. :p

The boys reserve game went on as scheduled last night, but the freshman game before it ran long. Me suspects the fellow officials were wanting to stay in the confines of warmth instead of going to their cars in the cold. :D

Al Gore invented global chillin'.

Schools closed here in mid mich due to wind chill.

On the drive home from my game last night, the temperature never read above -15F.

The school I was at had set-up 50 gallon propane tanks with heaters attached to blast hot air into some of the outer hallways overnight.

That's when you know it's cold...no, wait, stupid cold!!

I didn't work last night but went out with my wife. This was about 6 pm, sun is down, and I wore a short sleeve shirt. :)

Today it's suppose to hit 68 or so. And oh so sunny.

AD's are in a Pinch
 

Four snowout cancellations in seven days here. :mad:
The AD's are starting to feel the pinch. Many are now having games in spite of school being called off that day.
My scheduled games for tonight are on though school was called off. :)

These are their stories ...
 

My favorite show along with "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit", and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent". I don't mind watching the reruns, even if I know the outcome. I like to look for clues that I might have missed the first time I watched that episode. With Jay Leno moving to 10:00 p.m., what will happen to the "Law and Order" franchise? I don't usually turn on the boob tube until 9:30, or 10:00 p.m.
