Snow cancellation?

[JFlores]

My games just got canceled because of bad weather. Mind you I live in Houston and we are getting an arctic blast, temps are suppose to drop into the 20's.

I originally from NYC, like a co-worker of mine just said, are they playing basketball outside? Unbelievable.

Are you getting actual precipitation to go with the cold? Or are they canceling simply because it's too cold?

It stop raining hours ago, just plain cold. They said due to bad weather.

We've been encouraged to call the police department. They're probably going to send a officer, for security, to the site, so they should know if the game is on, or off. Pesonally, I've never done this. The police have more importnat calls to take, especially during a snowstorm.

I once traveled twenty miles to a game during a snowstorm. Didn't get a call from my assigner, or the school. Couldn't get in touch with the school, my partner, or my assigner (olden days before cell phones). Took me over an hour to get to the game. The game was cancelled, but nobody contacted the cheerleadng coach, or the police officer, who I met in the parking lot. The officer confirmed the cancellation over his radio.

Were these the days when one placed a note in a bottle & sent it off to sea OR when birds carried the letter? :-)

We had these things called land line telephones. Some had rotary dials.

I'm sure the police departments are thrilled with such calls. No, they ain't busy. Just eatin' doughnuts.

Which school district? I have games tomorrow, Friday and Saturday and haven't heard a peep about cancellations. It wouldn't surprise me if Friday got canceled considering it is supposed to snow that day.
