Season begins

[Umpirechick1]

Our HS season was supposed to start today as well, but we're having the same weather here in GA as Pete Peterson in the OP. I'm bummed because I'm scheduled for a game today and Thursday.

I really do not understand where all this California hatred is coming from... I almost think I need to go get my jacket.

Twelve below this morning and wind at 25 to 30 mph. After getting one of my Jeeps started I went by a field I regularly work on my way to the day job - somewhere near four feet of snow covering it.

But the bugs aren't bad.

In south GA where I'm currently working we should miss the nasty weather.

My first game, a 8th grade middle school game is this Wednesday.

Guess it looked something like this?

We may laugh now, but here in the CA central valley - it gets to 105-110 degrees in the middle of summer.  Then everyone else gets their laughs at us.

So the game was moved to last night, and my partner and I kept the assignment. I worked the plate in game one, a 6 1/2 inning 6-1 game. Smooth as glass, and done in under two hours. Game two went 10 innings, in about three hours. Temperature when we walked off the field ? A brisk 23 degrees. But, opening games under my belt.

Glad you got your game in. I'm still looking for the first one to knock the rust off. All schools and activities closed all week this week. 1/2" of ice with 4" to 8"  of snow on top of it depending on where you are. Maybe next week!

The forecasted high for my NCAA game Friday is 28.  And, I'm in the heart of Dixie.   It has been unusually cold this February, and these college kids do not like to move fast when its cold.  They become lethargic.  My average plate game so far is 3:14.  In fact, even my base jobs have all been over 3 hours.  (sigh).

I'm sorry my friend, SC isn't the "Heart of Dixie". Alabama is, lol.

Last Saturday I worked my first games of the year.  It was 65 degrees and sunny here in Northwest Mississippi.  My partner and I wore short sleeves for both games that ended at 5:30.  By the time I got home around 7 the temp had dropped to almost 30 degrees.  Snow and ice soon followed and has shut down much of Northwest Mississippi/West Tennessee all week.  My wife and kids only went to school yesterday.  Out again today because of impending snow/sleet/ice this morning.  High school games start on the 27th.  Hopefully it will warm up in the next week, and stay warm.

Don't kid yourself - those of us in the beach communities here in SoCal are laughing at you year round.
