So are you going to adjust your game day routine to allow for freak snow storms?

At the risk of running totally off topic-- I'm a firm believer in global warming, and these kinds of freak storms are proof. If the weather were the same as 100 years ago, I'd have allowed for it, since it wouldn't have been anything like "freak". This stuff happened fairly often and a winter with no snow (especially from Christmas forward) was extremely rare. These days, we've got mostly pretty mild winters with maybe one or two storms, generally very light and quick. Just not worth planning for. Especially not for a single freshman girls game in the middle of the afternoon, on a day when every weather forecaster in town is calling for dryer warmer weather for the next three or four days! ( And I was on the floor within about 30 seconds of the tip!)

I wouldn't know personally, haven't been around quite that long, so I'll have to defer to your greater experience gotcha!

Juulie - if we were scheduled to work a game together and you were even 30 seconds late, I would be furious. After all, you're just taking precious time away from me getting to be in ecstasy working with you.
