Heavy Snow Headed This Way

I just checked the weather forecast and thought it worth sharing. The italics are mine:

Tomorrow: Periods of snow and gusty winds. Some sleet may mix in. Temps nearly steady in the low to mid 30s. Winds ESE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 90%. Snow accumulating 10 to 15 inches.

Tomorrow night: Cloudy with rain and snow in the evening, light snow late. Low 29F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 70%.

A few years ago Dartmouth baseball didn't play on Red Rolfe Field until its final regularly scheduled home game of the season. (To the credit of coach Bob Whalen and his squad, Dartmouth won the Red Rolfe Division that, uh, spring.)

Even before this impending storm the schedule was in disarray. A home doubleheader against Siena was canceled a week ago today. Last week's "home" doubleheaders against Cornell and Princeton were played at Princeton. The odds against this weekends doubleheaders against Brown being played at home are astronomical.

And should the predicted snows come, Tuesday's home game against Vermont would be in serious jeopardy, meaning there's a very good chance that the entire home schedule would consist of an April 28 doubleheader against Harvard and a May 1 game against Hartford.

As a baseball fan, I'm hugely disappointed. I can only imagine how tough it is on the team. That FieldTurf for Red Rolfe can't arrive soon enough. ...

And don't get me started about my Little League schedule ;-(
