They just said on KXNO thay they are still planning on both games happening tomorrow but there will be limited staff at Hilton. Limited or no concessions, parking and walking paths may be difficult and dangerous to walk on, or something like that. So that will be fun.

It’s a bummer they won’t move basketball to Sunday. Especially since wrestling is cancelled.

Frankly, they should cancel or postpone NCAA sporting events much more often than they do. It is not worth risking the safety of the athletes, staff or fans to hold a game.

Anyone driven around in the DSM metro lately?

Just found out my HVAC system is shutting on and off and it recommends to either clean or replace my filter. So seeing if its possible to get to Menards ect.
If its high efficiency(PVC exhaust out the side of your house), make sure the exhaust/intake aren't frozen over. Seems more likely given the weather. The condensation can build up in colder weather. Hair dryer works to clear it if so. If it is the filter, pull it out and get one when you can.

Its likely not as easy as just making people stay.

You have to get all the staff back in for sunday to make the event possible. You have referees who have their own scheduled flights (and given how often some of them work, they may have their own games on Sunday). Both schools also have shorter turnarounds after this, both playing on Tuesday (us @ BYU, and OSU has KU coming to town) that they wouldn't want to make an even shorter turnaround.

Neighbor hires someone to clear her snow for her - crew was just here and they looked miserable and it was useless. Already blown back in. From what I can see it seems to be worsening, and uncle Google now says the chill is -11... So that's neat.
