| May 26, 2019 chico senior Men's 60 134 posts | Reno Just curious as to what the weather was like this past weekend in Reno. How did it effect games? We come in Tuesday and have our fingers crossed! |
| May 26, 2019 OMD 38 posts | SUCKED! Cloudy w/rain off & on - Fri. wasn't to bad but Sat. the wind was so bad anything in the air would drift sometimes more then 20 yards! Camped under pop ups just to have to back peddle quickly w/a lot of them dropping in for "hits" or flying out depending which way the field was situated! Not only windy but COLD (cutting through layers of clothes cold!)too! We played @ 8am this morning and by 9:30am the pass was closed w/o chains then by 11am when we were eliminated the pass was open & skated through! Even with the weather conditions it was a well run tournament - everything was smooth as far as I saw! The umpires were pretty good too! The ones we had would get out from behind the plate and were on top of calls @ 2nd! Some of them still need glasses? YEP! (but at our ages don't we all!) 8-} |
| May 27, 2019 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | That's a fairly accurate description of the weather, except that I think OMD was exaggerating a bit on how warm it was! ... Saturday was probably the coldest day I've spent at a facility in maybe forever! ... Despite that, all S1 games played as scheduled at all facilities, and that's a credit to the teams and umpires ... Well done! ... The forecast for S2 and S3 is much better ... Hope they're right ... Good luck everybody! ... |
| May 27, 2019 OMD 38 posts | It was pretty funny cuz some guys had so many layers on they looked liked the Michelin Tire dude - or maybe Kenny from South Park comedy show. Also if your driving you might want to pick up some chains if you don't already have them. They were selling for over $100 in Reno. Can always return when you get home if you don't use. The hotels were trying to get in on the closure too! Rooms that are normally $42.95 Sun-Thur. were being jacked up to over $120 for Sun. night. Moral of the story - Plan ahead! Good luck to all teams on & off the fields! |
| May 27, 2019 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | A few scattered showers for Memorial Day (Monday) afternoon, but no rain in the forecast for the balance of the tournament ... Expected highs are: Tuesday (68°), Wednesday (72°), Thursday (69°), Friday (72°), Saturday (77°) and Sunday (80°) ... |
