Snow, Really?

Looking out the window this morning I really had to ask Mother Nature if this late March snow is necessary.  As a resident of Southern New Jersey, our snowstorms usually come to a hault around the end of February, with a freak winter blast coming from time to time every handful of years. 

This year, I have truly learned the meaning of being a resident of New England, as snow has impacted the area all winter long.  We even encountered a blizzard this year, which dumped 40 plus inches on the pristine Albertus campus. 

Usually I am an advocate of snow fall, as it provides me with days off from school, beautiful scenery, and perfect sledding conditions.  But when snow starts effecting baseball season, I draw the line.  Already this year, snow has postponed one game, and cancelled a doubleheader that would have been played against Eastern Connecticut State; now it is going after even more games.  After receiving 6 inches of snow, Mt. St. Mary's had to postpone our contest against them on Wednesday afternoon, and there is still no way to tell if the snow will affect our Thursday game at Westfield State. 

Nothing is better than snow in the winter, but nothing is worse than a game being "snowed" out.  So I ask Mother Nature to please take it easy on the snow, because the Falcons have some baseball games to win.
