I was sitting behind 3rd base. Never saw it leave the bat or land.
Delay was only a few minutes, the snow was already lessening in intensity by the time they called it. They played Winter Wonderland during the delay.
Best snow/baseball memory is Opening Day 2003 at Camden Yards. Wild, crazy squall hit during the game. At times it was nearly impossible to see the other side of the ballpark. There are many videos on You Tube including a 2 run triple for the Indians that the Orioles lost in the snow. AFTER that, then the umpires called a delay. First and only snow delay I've ever experienced in-game.
Cool stuff Jon! I honestly love the city...my son and I spend an entire weekend at the Sheraton Station Square every fall for our annual Steelers weekend. We've been doing it for years and it's super cool that he still looks forward to it even though he's an adult now.
We'll see if our streak is broken this fall.
My father had to restrain his 14 year old son from destroying the family television when Pops went deep in game #7.
I was at game #1 that year - delayed a day due to snow in Baltimore on October 9th. The next night it was 41 degrees at game time, which was the coldest World Series game ever played until it was broken in 1997 or 1998 I believe.
I'm heading for the Outer Banks during the middle of June. This will be the only week of the year that I'd appreciate some temperatures that approach hot levels.
After I return it's past the solstice and the countdown to winter begins.
If we end up with any snow on the ground...anything...I will gladly run around and tell everyone what you all know already...I have no idea what I'm talking about.
This is what I've been saying. Possibly seeing some flakes on Saturday? Yes. Accumulating snows measured in inches as some of the models have suggested? No way. (down here)
Exactly! I have virtually zero hope of seeing snow here in Lanco...if, and man what a huge IF it is...if we're going to see flakes flying down here I think we need to hope for an intense shower of graupel or snow on Saturday. Tomorrow/tomorrow night is a rainer down here.
Hey...thanks for the correction! I knew that but honestly forgot. And to clarify, Lancaster hasn't had measurable.
Like you, I've been done with snow for weeks, but I'm also a huge fan of anomalous events. Let it snow...
I've never seen snow of any kind in May in my 54 years. I don't recall even being close...this is probably the closest opportunity, one which I still believe is a long shot.
@Bubbler86 It might not have ever hit 80 on Thanksgiving either, but I do remember reaching 70 here on New Year's day. To me snow seems more far fetched on 5/9 than 80 in late November - at least down here we're already over 2 full weeks past the latest recorded snowfall ever.
