Hope all got here or are getting here safe. Never been here. The Mecca.  Just met Trotsky and Hopkins. Nice to put a face to the names.

I hope everyone going to LP has a blast and have safe travels.

For anyone coming into Placid off 87, through Keene on 73...

...leave yourselves -A LOT- of extra time! It's snowing and the roads are particularly slippery. This coming from an Ithaca native used to driving in this stuff. (Kim is driving, but...)

Our original ETA into town was about 2:30PM. At this point GPS is showing we've lost close to an hour, and it's getting worse.

Edit: We've passed at least half a dozen cars that have slid off the road or into other cars.

Yeah, it was rough. Happy to make it to the rink safely

Any word on the band?

Everyone enjoy Lake Placid. A bit under the weather this week, so we're watching from Ithaca.

We've spent a fair amount of time in Lake Placid over the years beginning in 1970 with the Cornell NCAA championship games in the 1932 Arena. Many great memories including the 1980 Olympics and then being able to bring our boys to the ECAC Tournament at the Olympic Arena for their first time in 1996 (Schafer's 1st ECAC Championship).

Lake Placid is a wonderful small town.  LGR

Wait if you met Trotsky and Hopkins... 👋👋👋

And I survived!  I think they weren't prepared
