[rationalization mode]Boy am *I* sure glad we don't have to risk life and limb tonight.  Wooo!  Yeah.  Good luck, Deertick fans!  I can save on gas, hotel, and food $$!  Go have a nice, local St. Patrick's Day! [/rationalization]

*sigh*

Anyone else remember that year of the ice-storm going up to Lake Placid?  I'm pretty sure it was 1997.  I was in grad school in Rochester, and could afford to take off the night before as soon as it became clear that that system was bearing down.  A friend of mine in Ithaca drove us up that night and we got into Saranac Lake at around 3 am after being pulled over in every town from Watertown north because he had a tail-light out and they had nothing to do.  We were accused of stealing by the Saranac Lake police because we had a large Cornell flag in the back seat.  While my friend got a sobriety test because he was sarcastic and tired of being pulled over, I chatted with the partner of the cop...turns out he hunted with my hosts in Saranac.  

Another friend of mine wound up flipping his car on the way up the next day trying to fight through the ice and snow.

Safe travels to our friends and enemies who are making the trip to the TUC today.

Yep, 1997 had pretty bad weather for the Placid trip.  I remember heading up the interstate north of Albany when a car a few hundred yards ahead of us did a 360 and then skidded off the road.  Moments later we pulled off the highway and Julei asked Age to drive...

I'd rather be going through 10" of snow on the way to Albany than through 10" on the way home...

From Albany:  As I always say, if a winter storm is predicted before a hockey game, that just means that I have to leave a little earlier.    And that's exactly what I did today.   I outraced the storm all the way from the southern tier of NY to Albany.   The storm was so close to "catching" me that, every time I made a pit stop, the roads worsened.    Have a great weekend gang.   I'm still going to enjoy the red-less ECACHL tournament!    Next year, we're going to win it!!!

[quote RichH]Anyone else remember that year of the ice-storm going up to Lake Placid?  I'm pretty sure it was 1997.[/quote]Definitely 1997.  The driver I caught a ride from took the "safer" southern route (via Albany instead of via Watertown) and still spun out into a median somewhere around Albany.  I know of at least two other people who also got into accidents on the way up to Placid via the northern route.

Of course, beating Hobey Cherrypicker made it all better.

You forget that you could walk up and get tickets, then go anywhere in the rink with very little "Excuse me, but I was hoping to stand with my friends.  Would you mind trading these seats for this block of tickets several rows lower?"

I miss 10 inch snowstorms too, but I must admit I'm enjoying the beach weather in Florida this week and am not at all envious of my brother, who's trying to fly out of NYC today.

The lack of airline tickets from California would be much more of a hinderance than the game tickets, no doubt.

The normal 4.5 hour drive home turned into 8 hours with the weather tonight.

I guess I should be rooting for Q now that I'm back in Connecticut. They're actually getting some press in the local papers, with the stories focusing on how Q, SHU, and UConn were all participating in conference tournaments this weekend.

I'm teaching skiing at Sugarbush tomorrow and then skiing all day Sunday with a friend of mind.  At least now I will be able to enjoy all of this snow without feeling guilty, although I probably would have skied somewhere Saturday before going to the game Saturday night like I did in '02 in Lake Placid.

As for the ice storm, '97 may have had bad weather, but the historic ice storm was in '98 (I think February).  I had just returned from an exchange program in Switzerland and was doing presentations around CT.  

I actually was visiting a friend in Binghamton during the ice storm.  We bought a bunch of groceries and drove up through Watertown to my mother's in Potsdam.  We kept driving across downed wires while switching streets in Watertown whenever we saw police and other emergency vehicles. We figured they would turn us around if they saw us.  Fortunately, we were early enough that they hadn't really organized yet.

All of the trees in the patches of "forest" along Rte 11 looked like someone had hacked off their tops with a giant lawn mower.   We also drove along one stretch near Canton where there wasn't a telephone pole standing for over a mile. The ice in Potsdam was so thick we ice-skated on the high school football field on top of about 6" of snow and never broke through.

If you drive through the Adirondacks you can still see the damage where the birch trees all lost their tops.  A perfect place to see this is on Rte 73 along Cascade Lake just east of the Ski Jumps in Lake Placid.   This elevation of about  2000' really seemed to get hammered.

Yep.  And I believe the both the Clarkson and St. Lawrence teams did some outstanding community service in volunteering for those who were really put out in that '98 ice storm in the North Country.  The affected area was from the North Country all the way up to Montreal.

There was a very severe ice storm in my hometown that affected a narrow swath of western NY from Rochester to the PA border in 1991.  Even today, there's still a lot of tree damage visible along I-390.  My memories included going out to the flood-control areas to listen to the trees snapping all around us.  I had neighbors who lost power for over 2 weeks, and we were warned not to even step outside in the middle of town due to power lines coming down.  It was eerily beautiful, however.

Ah, Varna. I lived in this dive of an apartment for 6 years. However, it was dog-friendly and right across from the Ag fields and Fall Creek. One of the scary things was that the parents of a grad student in our department went to Cornell and lived in the same apartment and not much had changed in the 20+ years since they had lived in it. But hey, the rent was cheap and heat and electricity was included!

Sorry, but I'm still not over what shitty weather we dealt with going to the game @ Colgate on January 24, 2004.  Bad weather on the way up, Colgate sold out of tickets and we had to help fake with sharpies the hand markings to get more CU fans into Starr, we played down many CU skaters from injuries, Colgate students threw pizza at us, and Silverthorn was out from fighting at Lynah the previous night. Ben Wallace scored our only goal despite a broken hand (or 2?) and Downs skated the whole game I think, yet we lost 2-1.  By the time we drove back, it was slush 3 inches thick covered in snow everywhere.  It tooks like 3 hours, and I know some other undergrads ended up wrecked.  That was hell.  

Okay, I'm done venting now.  My PTSD still kicks in every now and again, clearly.

Ahh, we were lucky enough to reserve tickets ahead of time, however the near 3 hour ride there made us miss nearly all of the first two periods and all of the scoring. So I managed to only experience the pizza, insults and dildo delay of game. Strange enough we had a desire to have pizza for dinner before making the return trip to Ithaca. Only drove off the road once, but in my defense I was following the tire tracks of the car that had blazed that trail before me. ::drive::

How could I have fogotten about the dildo?!?  ::innocent::[/quote]I guess when a person has had as much experience with dildos (dildoes?) as you have, they all start to blend together in the memory.:-D[/quote]

They do all kind of just blend together into one giant dildo.

IIRC, on the way up that year you also witnessed, from behind, my near-death when the yutz in front of me decided to avail himself of the passing lane after I'd already started to pass him.

I think it's Romano's selfishness with the puck....[/quote]WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING?!?[/quote]

We showed up for today's document review gig at 9:45, ready to work - and after a half hour of training on Ringtail, some pretty slow and primitive privilege log software, we were told to wait until we had our usernames and passwords sent to the supervisors.  That was more than two hours ago; they still haven't arrived.  So now, I'm sitting here giggling madly while people look at me funny.

Not that this is such an unusual thing; I just usually don't get paid so handsomely for it.
