High School Season Cancelled

You scared me!

I hope y'all are able to dig out soon!

I agree, enough is enough!

Coach Merc, not funny at all!

Our next season is MUD season, so anybody ready for some swampball! LOL

We've had over 5 feet of snow this winter and currently have more than BUFFALO! Good grief, I am expecting an iceberg to float by.....

I'm sitting in a Panera in a suburb of Boston. I think there's a huge tree behind the (bigger) snowbank the plow just made. Is that my white Cherokee or a snowbank?

Here in (God Bless) Texas we love snow. So much so that we'll spend lots of $$ to go to Colorado just to play in it.

Getting ready for the ICE tomorrow. On top of the 3 feet of snow, that should go over well.

Enough already is right! How about some of these:

Expecting 2 feet of snow tonight in chicago.

I hear most of the snow clearing budgets are already depleted in some states. This could get interesting.

The weather's been tough here in Cleveland as well. We've had over 16 inches since 2:00 AM last night and it is still snowing. Other than that, the weather's been great

Seriously, here on the Great Lakes, things can get much worse...

20 degrees, wind chill of zero and ice covered roads here in the DFW area...not so peachy much of anywhere these days. Be careful out there!

I wonder how much it would cost to snow plow a baseball field? We could take up a collection from the parents as we will all be ready to see the boys get out there!

This weather is why I believe high school baseball fields in the northeast corridor should be turfed. Ploy them, drain them and play ball.

This global warming thing is something!

"Take the path less traveled"...except when you drive a Honda Civic in upstate New York. Stay on the main roads, or you'll end up having your shortstop and relievers pushing your car out of a parking lot.

The snow banks are so high here that it makes intersections dangerous. At least the roads are plowed today. But it is going to take a long time for this to melt off of the ball fields!

Can report however that it will indeed eventually be spring...The CA NAIA's are already two weeks into their seasons...

I had a game in an April snowstorm once.....the home team coach wouldn't cancel. He thought I wouldn't show up and that was the only way he was going to beat us.

Ice pellets this morning... .winter storm advisory......high wind advisory.....one more log on the fire.

The power is back on. Roads impassable. Thunder and lightning and snow! Winds up to sixty mph. Interesting night we had.

Saving up my energy for Thursday...

If we go ahead and cancel the HS season does that mean the Clippers can set sail that much sooner? I know we have one vote for that

We do appreciate our Northern friends taking back all your snow and ice this year. Last year you shipped it down to us in VA & MD and our communities just don't have the equipment to deal with it. Still have most of the foot we got last week on the ground, and that's about all we can handle around here.

All you Yankees stay safe now, ya'hear

Unfortunately it is actually happening in some places.

Guys, our school district just canceled classes, for the 3rd day in a row...this time not for weather, but because the engineers want to get out and inspect all the school structures. With all the building collapses in CT, one a tennis facility in our town, they don't want to take any chances. Yikes.

At least the YMCA and the batting cages are open.

This is snow day # 9. So our school year now ends June 24 (so long to Perfect Game tournament on Long Island June 18 -20; don't know who the heck will be able to make that one!!) ..... and spring break is just about out the window for most of our towns.

Chicagoland --- hang in there. It looked like a bad one! Be safe everyone.

In the north I propose cyber schooling come December, January and February. This eliminates most school closings, reduces energy costs tremendously and eliminates the ridiculous busing of students on icy highways. Oh yeah, cuts down on the spread of viruses. One last thing, takes all that waste of time in transportation, assembly, dining and just plain babysitting and chucks it out the window. Three hours a day is all you'd need.

I hope y'all stay warm and safe. My husband works for a company in the middle of this storm's aftermath and they are not having fun.

Sending warm and toasty thoughts your way!

You all enjoy that snow. As for me, I think I'm going to catch a juco game tonight at Sacramento City College. It's opening night! Gonna be cold though, probably only around 50 degrees at game time.

"Chicagoland --- hang in there. It looked like a bad one! Be safe everyone."

Thanks. We're digging out!

It wasn't the snow as much as the wind that was the problem. It was indeed a true blizzard with sustained winds between 30 and 40 MPH and top gusts reaching near 70 MPH. Lots and lots of deep drifts. A real challenge for small snowblowers.

06catcherdad - don't take this wrong, but I just told my computer screen your #1 if you know what i mean.

"And you're finished already? You must be in good shape!"

Me? Good shape? I guess...if you consider a pear a good shape!

My recently acquired snowblower is in good shape. It has an 8 HP motor with 5 forward speeds and 2 reverse. It's 12 years old and was given to us by a friend down the block who just purchased a new one. Previously we didn't own one. All hand shovel work after past storms.

We had five from our family doing battle on our and our neighbor's walk and drive. The drifts were too massive for even this snowblower so our daughters broke them apart so my son could munch through them with the snowblower. The old machine worked perfectly! As did our children too. I got in handful of supervisory hours. I'm learning.

Ok- well back here on iced Island, I am working on a streak of sorts! I am 2 for 2! Yep! fell yesterday and bruised a shoulder while trying to clear the ice. and today, took a tumble in the back yard while trying to remove steroid eating icicles from the gutter. This time the kneecap took the hit!

So far, I have managed to protect my noggin but am toying with the idea of wearing a bicycle helmet until my balance or the weather gets better!

I am ready to watch some baseball!! Before I continue my personal battle with a tough pitcher named Jack Frost who is out to keep decking me and keeping me off the plate!

Here in the Dallas area, school has been canceled again for the 4th day in a row. The neighborhood roads, sidewalks and driveways are a thick sheet of ice. We have very little to no snow but the black ice is everywhere!

BTW, welcome to DFW to the Packer and Steelers fans.
