Chicago and Emory will play today at 4:00 EST giving UAA fans a Saturday game to watch.

I forgot how Atlanta gets paralyzed with just 1 to 2 inches of snow and a tenth of an inch of ice-- just the criteria for a Winter Weather Advisory everywhere.  That is in tonight's forecast for Atlanta.  It doesn't take heavy snow to shut everything down there due to practically everyone needing to drive to get around Atlanta and its suburbs-- usually in most UAA cities, you need a Winter Storm or Blizzard Warning to justify rescheduling a game. 

However, we have a UAA doubleheader between Emory and Chicago today due to the inclement weather hitting Atlanta late tonight into Sunday.

A few seasons ago, St. Louis had a forecast of 10-12 inches of snow.  That storm was unusual in that the snow was expected to fall faster than usual. 

Emory came to town anyway and though the games were delayed while they waited for officials to arrive (the women played with only two), the games were played.

I must have passed 5-6 abandoned cars on my three-mile drive to campus, so bravo to those officials.

What I've learned after a decade in the mid-atlantic, you can survive with drivers who don't know how to navigate ice/snow or you can survive without snowplows, but you can't do anything if both are true, and both are generally true in this part of the country and south.
