traveling to away games - calling all faithful

[dss28]

yeah, people here are already attempting to talk me out of going up there... ::uhoh::

Would it really be a road trip to Burlington or Hanover (or a hockey road trip in general) without inclement weather?  (Easy to say when I'm stuck on the left coast.)

Joking aside, stay safe everyone.

[dss28]

Well, just in case... does i2 carry the away games as well?  Or just the home games?

Just the home games.

gonna leave earlier b/c of the weather tomorow. leaving from the albany area, gonna take route 7/9 then 91 up. cya tomorrow guys and drive safely

My plan is to leave the Hartford area at 2pm Friday, which should give us more than enough breathing room... probably going to leave Hanover at noon on Saturday to give us enough time to slide our way over to Burlington.  If anyone needs a ride, I've got some extra room in my car (and would probably welcome the added weight ;-) ).

Let's go Red!!

To echo Christine, anyone who's driving this weekend, be safe, eh?  Last weekend saw enough car trouble for the whole year and then some.    ::uhoh::

I dunno. Even being a native Syracusan, I wouldn't go out in this one. It's gonna get really ugly.  Snow doesn't scare me, however the freezing rain predicted this afternoon should give one pause.

Just look at this map:

However, I do thing we should invade Rhode Island and steal their anti-snow weather machine. :-P

...yeah.  Looks as though we're having some last minute change of plans. :-/

Despite the lousy forecast, my friends and I left Ithaca for Dartmouth around 12:15 on Friday, and it rained the whole way up, but the roads really weren't too bad until after the game. It snowed during the day on Saturday (which was good for the skiing **) ) but other than that we didn't see any more bad weather for the rest of the weekend. The faithful turnout was understandably small at Dartmouth, but I was glad to see more people made it to VT.


This weekend the boys looked to me more like the team I remember- they were passing better, and working the boards better. Gleed's goal on Saturday came off a beautiful pass from Cam Abbott, which was awesome to watch, especially sitting in the first row. All in all, I was satisfied! I'm glad we decided to make the trip after all. I can't ask for anything better than a 4 point weekend!

Let's Go Red!
