Lovely Weather

Now I’ve seen it all.

Thirty years on the job and this is the first time I can remember a track meet getting scrubbed by weather. And not just one, but two. Meets scheduled in South Bend and Tenino were canceled for different reasons, but both weather related. At South Bend, the area surrounding the track facility is so muddy and mucky, that the meet was called. And in Tenino, a few inches of snow on the ground forced that postponement.

The only other time I can recall a partial postponement was at Onalaska years ago, when one end of its track was flooded.

Is this the worst spring in memory? Well, there’s a lot of the season left, but it sure is on track to be one of the worst. As Washington residents, it shouldn’t surprise us. But this weather is bad, even by our standards.
