Snow problem

Sorry for the lack of posts. We are in a very unusual purgatory between seasons -- but not really between seasons! We have one more indoor track meet to go, a very important and big one in the IC4A/ECAC Championships in Boston next weekend. We have more men's qualifiers for IC4As than ever, and we look forward to filling up a few vans worth of athletes for the long trip to Beantown.

For now, we are watching with mild Weather Geek interest at the potential storm unfolding this weekend. Fortunately, with no track travel plans, I can go into full Weather Geek mode and read about computer models, oscillations and the telltale "wobble" of the rain/snow line that will ultimately determine whether we get a foot of snow, a nuisance wintry mix, or somewhere in between. Again, I'm glad I don't have to worry about driving the vans on I84 and the Mass Pike the next few days.

The majority of the team is in "full steam ahead" mode for outdoor track, which feels a bit unusual since winter is still here in full force -- cold, wind, ice, etc. I will post the outdoor track schedule soon so everyone has an idea of what we are doing. The outdoor schedule is a bit complicated, with split squads much of the time. Once it starts, it will zoom by quickly.
