Spokane's attempt at snow soccer was on the Weather channel yesterday! It turned out that our game was canceled after all. The field marshall felt it wouldn't be safe for the kids to run on such slippery surfaces. Hmm, ya think? However, when the announcement came down that the game was canceled, several of the parents as well as the coach were really disappointed. One dad (maybe grampa) asked if we could just play for fun anyway. At this point, the snow was still really coming down. Chris and I were relieved that the game was canceled and were standing there baffled as to why people were asking to play anyway!? Fortunately, the other team wasn't into playing in the snow and we were all able to go on our merry way.
Several teams did play games before the games were canceled, and this was the clip that the Weather Channel broadcast. The Weather Channel forecasters also announced this year, Spokane has had 90 inches of snow. This is twice as much as the usual average: 45 inches. Wow. What a coincidence that we were here for such a white winter. But really. Snow in April?! Absurd.
