I'm sure it is no surprise to anyone, but we've been having some very frigid temperatures lately.

We want everyone to be aware of the weather warnings for this weekeknd.

At least its warmed up a bit from what it was. It was -11 up here on Monday, and that had even me wincing at the idea of being outdoors this weekend.

PS. Frowning at snow, Benkel? You wuss :-P

PPS. Does this mean Judge is going to be dressing up like a leopard and snow-tackling people again? Cuz that was kinda awesome.

73. Not allowed to name my cudgel Ceremonial Whoopass Stick.
74. My thief's battle cry is not "Run And Live"

Snow means warmer weather. :)  It has to be near freezing, not the usual below conditions of the past week.

Farmers Almanac is stating we're going to continue to have crazy snow through February but in March its going to be unseasonably warm for early spring, like the 70's.

Folks, the forecast has changed slightly... while it's not going to be *quite* as cold, they are also saying a 40% chance of some more snow.

I'll ask everyone to do the following:

1) Remember not to double-park anyone in, in either lot.

2) Bring gear to shovel out and brush off your vehicles.

3) On Sunday, please be a good neighbor and help everyone else when it's time to go.  If you have a brush / scraper, help clean off cars.  Nothing is quite as helpful as friends when trying to deal with more snow...

I feel this is important.

The last time I went larping in cold weather, some people decided to take off layers of
clothing because they felt hot, keep your eyes on each other because hypothermia can
happen to anyone.

Water is important, make sure you take your fair share since many of you will be
running around or be in combat.

"Please watch over each other"

And Enjoy the Event.
