Putting on my meteorologists hat... tomorrow is the first 3rd Sat evening I've had off since February! Unfortunately, the forecast looks really dicey for the monthly get together tomorrow evening. Are there any contingency plans based on ice/snow so that local pinheads don't get into trouble?

You would miss the turtle-juggling attempt over a little ice and snow?

Contingency plans meaning moving it to another date? If that is what you mean, no. The back room is reserved too far in advance for us to easily move to another date.

If you mean contingency plan like sleeping on my floor, I'm afraid that is out too due to family being over for Christmas.

If you mean contingency plans like sleeping on PW's floor, you'll have to ask Cory and Dave.

Are the roads as bad as I think they are?

Solid ice rink over here. Can't imagine it's much different over there. Lawrence airport and downtown KC airports both carrying steady freezing rain right now. Of course what the heck do I know, just a meteorologist Was just trying to save my friends from risking their lives to play pinball. Only gets worse over the next few hours with moderate freezing rain changing over to snow during or just after the tourney.

Sucks man. Family is out of town and this was one of the highlights I was looking forward to, but there is no way in heck I'm going to make that drive both ways.

Yea, I wasn't going to try it either. Its only the fourth time in the last 16 tournaments that I've missed. Damn you mother nature!

We had 16 people. I drove back around 10:00 and it wasn't too bad because everything was snow packed and you could get traction. That being said, I only had to drive a little over one mile.

Jason won. Him and Marion had a good battle at the end. I managed to come in 3rd. I can't seem to ever get higher than that.
