Dang! DD and I were up, dressed and eager to jump in the car to head back to the park, when I got the text that the tournament had been cancelled due to the weather.
It's currently about 33 degrees. I looked at the forecast and it's not that bad, IMO there wouldn't be any real problem playing in this:
They are such wusses!
On the plus (parental braggy) side, DD had several hits and RBIs this weekend, including a double to deep center last night that drove in a couple, a ton of blocked balls and a bang-bang tagout of a runner trying to score from second on a hit to left field (DD tagged her and then immediately shifted her feet and looked to the batter-runner at second to see if she could make a play there. I thought, "Chaz would be proud!"). Things were a little shaky for the girls yesterday: first tournament of the season, a lot of practice time lost due to the weather and playing up all combined, but they seemed to be getting their feet under them. Their defense was sharpening up and they were getting their bats going too. The girls'll end this tourney at 2-2 and have to wait to fight another day, LOL.
I guess I can go get some extra sleep, but I was sure looking forward to watching the girls play. There are moments which make one long for a warmer clime...

Overcast with snow, then snow and rain in the afternoon. High of 43F. Winds from the ENE at 10 to 15 mph shifting to the North in the afternoon. Chance of snow 60% with accumulations up to 1 in. possible.
