How many times, in the past four years, have we stood outside in the cold, the wind, the rain, to watch our athletes practice and compete? A quick check of this blog's archives and you could figure it out -- anytime the weather has been lousy, chances are pretty good I have whined about it here! Well ... here we go again ... the weather gods are not smiling on the Class of 2013. After what has been, for the most part, a lovely spring -- and lately, what feels like an early summer -- things are gonna get ugly over the next few days. Just in time for Commencement on the Campus Green.
I just checked Accuweather. Saturday's forecast reads like this: Windy and colder with rain. High 57. Low 42. In a word: Ugly, on what should be a pretty day for our special class of graduates. I hope the Rite Aid across the street from Marist has stocked umbrellas. They could do a brisk business over the next 48 hours. To compound things, the Campus Green is a natural flood plain. That beautiful, sloping hill could become an impromptu tributary for the nearby Hudson River. Yikes. Hey. Forecasts have been wrong. Maybe things will brighten up. For the Class of 2013, let's hope so.
