We've had one dry Friday in WNC that we can recall this season. I've had mist, drizzle, showers, buckets and cats & dogs this year. Here are a couple of samples. That's me in the background of the second pic.

I did a day of youth game last year (a year ago today actually) in the pouring rain. I don't think it let up for more than 10 minutes at a time that day. Fortunately, we were on a FieldTurf field and other than being soaked, the games went pretty well.

I am not fond of FieldTurf fields for baseball games but I do love them for football.

Where's the tee, eh?

I did a game (snowy) Thursday night here in Edmonton where a team kicked off early in the third quarter, forgot to retrieve their tee and when they needed it again in the fourth couldn't find it...had to kick the rest of the game off the field turf! Ahhhh, the joys of football north of the 53rd!

I did a JV game a week ago on a field that was the consistency of oatmeal. A varsity game was played on it the night before during a steady downpour. It rained most of the night afterwards, so you can imagine what the conditions were like. I thought once that I had lost a shoe, but it only came part of the way off from the suction of the mud. The worst conditions I have ever seen.
