Not I, but yesterday I finally get to ref my first game this year in shorts and without a couple of thermal layers; it was a balmy 35 degrees with a nice 15 mph breeze.:lol: :crazy:

BTW lax is a winter sport here.

Hate to brag but I have not even worn a long sleeve shirt this year and we started the first week of Feb!!!! Sorry guys, couldn't resist, part of my family in northern NM had a snow day today so....

we had a JV team from Minn. come here for several scrimmages. Now we know why they thought NY was a southern trip.... I have to admit I had never seen a JV team make that kind of trip.

complete slate of HS games wiped out yesterday.....SOP for Colorado however...

[Lax-Umpire]

yes in NH multiple games cancelled due to snow/snow in the fields/or wet fields. Most teams that are playing are on turf. Did have a game yesterday - in the 60 (while the sun was out) and on turf, Great day to be on the field!

No snow here!

Snow?? That's why there are orange balls.

Snow?? That's why there are orange balls.

Every game in the state snowed out yesterday and today. Playing in an inch of powder is one thing, but several inches of slush combined with horizontal sleet and lots of wind is another. Orange balls don't keep your stick from picking up two pounds of slush!

Snow is better than mud slides and earthquakes. What's the penalty for the field disappearing??

We had snow-outs a couple of weeks ago during an 8 inch storm, but not every game. I was officiating at a school on a Saturday whose game was held in that snowstorm on a Thursday night, and the parents showed my pictures of that game. Parents were running across the field during breaks with shovels to clear the lines. The game was actually pretty close, but not many bounce passes were made that day. The field was cleared for my game with the rubber bladed plow.

Yeah, our 4 seasons are mudslide season, earthquake season, wildfire season, and flash flood season. The weather never changes, just the terrain.
