The snow has started

I thought the snow was predicted to start later tonight, but it's snowing hard where I am, just a little east of Peoria.
How much will we get, and how badly will it affect the attendance at tomorrow's game?

I hope the Redbirds don't get stuck in a ditch in Congerville!:D

No he would try to but then he would fail and refuse help from any of his teammates while he kept on trying to force it to work.

By the way it is snowing pretty good on campus here but nothing is really sticking yet.
 
It was snowing lightly around 7 this morning when I was out and about, stopped a bit, and now is coming down quite hard.
 
I bet dollars to donuts that attendance won't be affected very much at all. The brunt of the storm looks like it will hit overnight and by gametime tomorrow, roads should be just fine. Or maybe that is all just wishful thinking...
 
Better to start now and be done with it by afternoon tomorrow that way everything can be cleaned up and passable for tomorrow night, any tickets left?

My biggest concern is the whole "Significant blowing and drifting" idea... And we all know how well Peoria cleans roads ;)
 
Here's to hoping for a snow day for the students. From previous experiences a snow day would really lead to a rockin student section tuesday night. ;-)

Seriously? I'd say there is virtually zero chance the game will be delayed.

I suppose if it was the storm of the century with 3 feet of snow it might be postponed, but that's not going to happen.

Or he would walk to Par-A-Dice and play CRAPS like he did last time BU played ISU (last week he was spotted at the boat around midnight rolling the bones).

I was just curious because over winter break they declared a snow day and everything on campus was closed. I believe the women still played a game at ICC that night even though ICC was closed too, but I wasn't sure what they'd do since the men play down at Carver.
 
If the teams are there and the refs are there, they'll play. Georgetown played Villanova in a 36 inch blizzard on Saturday. They'll be playing in Peoria tomorrow.

I remember Peoria was pretty good at clearing the main roads! Then again after college I headed out to DC where they are really bad and the drivers in snow that much worse.

My 4 years there we never had a snow day maybe they canceled the early morning classes but after my 1st semester freshman year I learned quick never to take early morning classes ever again!;-)

Unfortunately sometimes you have to schedule those early morning classes because they are the only sessions available. I love having a 9 person class at 8 in the morning monday, wednesday, friday :roll:

I was just going to ask if there would be a chance this game would be pushed back to Wednesday night. I guess you answered my question, but it would be a shame if they were to play this game in front of only a few thousand at the most. Bradley needs to feed off the crowd, especially against our archrivals. Hopefully the fans show up and just leave earlier to get there.

Of course the storm looks like it won't be as bad in Peoria as potentially here in the Chicago area. They are now predicting 8 to 15 inches of snow up here due in part to some significant lake effect snow. Things have the potential to get pretty crazy up here!
