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.

Back in the days when the TV remote had two legs, two arms, and had to be fed three times a day.

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