And who says there is no climate change?
Yesterday we played and it was < 40 when games started at 8 but was in mid 70's by 2 in afternoon. The joys of playing in the high desert.

First game this weekend 22 degrees by the end of the game it was a scorching 26 degrees. 
Luckily, I had mine
It started to snow and Q was wondering why the game was postponed or called...maybe. My decoder ring might have the wrong code though. There's only one per ring you know...LOL
Played our first game Saturday at 9:40 pm due to rain all day in the area, and at a different field due to field conditions. Won, so we played again at 9:15 Sunday morning. It was 34 degrees, wind chill was 25, and it was snowing. Snowed for the next three hours off and on. Field conditions were horrible, freezing cold and wet girls, coaches delaying the game because they wanted the TD to call it instead of just forfeiting. And this was in Tennessee! Not like we were playing in Michigan. Ugh. I don't care what color ball we were playing with. If you can't hold onto it because you can't feel your fingers, then I don't want to be playing.
Side note: I really think the tournament should have been called. Field conditions were atrocious, and we saw more than one girl slip in the mud or get stuck in the muck down the baseline. But it was a Stay to Play, and of course $10 per day gate fees, so no call was made. Also a qualifier, so then you have to find another tournament to give the berths away in. Oh well.

Not this post but I have been concerned with players safty this time of year.
