Like most years, recently.

Sucks falls to BC, 2-1, but Northeastern beats BU, 3-0. Not all bad for us.

Up to 3 in PWR. We could overtake BC, with some help. Of course that requires us to win out.

Jenner gets Player-of-the-Week.

From here:

Jenner and the Big Red have another important conference series this weekend, traveling to Quinnipiac and Princeton on Friday and Saturday. Cornell is alone in second place in the league standings and will be looking to keep pace with league-leader Harvard before the teams meet in Lynah Rink on Jan. 15.

Boy, it's going to be a long season!::wtf::

It's also going to be a miniscule crowd at Quinnipiac on Friday night if the major snowstorm predicted for CT on Friday materializes. Getting up that long, steep hill to the Q rink isn't going to be fun!

[Trotsky]

Speaking of, is the snow supposed to be bad for the Ithaca area Friday?

Inquiring, driving minds want to know.

AT this point, all the attention is focused on New England and the coast.  Unless things change, travel/weather in Ithaca should be no worse this weekend than is typical for February.

Not sure that's quite right. This is an excerpt from the weather alert I received earlier this evening:

Central New York is on the western edge of the predicted path of Nemo and likely west of the area where the normal snow/air movement from the west collides with the mass moving in from the south, which is why I said, "unless things change."  That is why we have a winter storm watch in effect.  Ithaca currently shows 2-4 inches expected Friday into Saturday. That is pretty normal for February.

Of course, it is crucial to factor in where one is driving to Ithaca from....Rochester and Syracuse -- not bad.  Philly to Ithaca could be a mess.  Unless you leave today!

This question applies to both the men and women, but since we're talking about the weather here, this seems as good of a place as any to post it. As has already been mentioned, Hamden is expected to get a lot of snow tonight and tomorrow morning. What happens if the roads are closed and our women's team can't get to Hamden and/or Q's men's team can't get to Ithaca? I assume the games would be rescheduled for a Sunday or a weeknight? How often does it happen that games get canceled due to weather? I don't think it's happened in the last few years. This problem would probably also affect Harvard and maybe Dartmouth (I'm not sure if they're in the storm's path that far north).

[dag14]

I think the women are already on the road.  They practiced this morning and I know they travel today.  I am also fairly sure that the Q'pac men's team will arrive in Ithaca today.  Most teams travel on Thursday since Ithaca is several hours away from every other team except Colgate.  Even Union and RPI tend to come in the day before.

According to CHN all four Hockey East men's games scheduled for Friday have been postponed.

[kingpin248]

Friday's women's game has been moved up six hours, from 7 pm to 1 pm.

I love how on the current CornellBigRed page where they talk about all the cancelations and time changes, they headline it with a picture of the men's team and then at the end say their schedule is not expected to change. Maybe they think the picture will capture attention or is it false advertising?
