Angry Southwestern Ohio GTG....[EDIT] Fun was had by all! Weather was good!

OK, the forecast for this Saturday keeps getting worse and worse. Cold, storms, and then getting real cold and changing over to snow (?!?!?).

Bad weather will cut down on the # of p-cars there.

So, what does everyone think? Should we still have it, or shoot for next weekend?

I would say april 12th more then the 5th.
The other thing is what about the people comin from out of the state? I don't care but I think that if the weather is bad then that would suck. I know at this point alot of people have made plans but if everyone post its ok I think that we should change it. If people have problems with this lets just go ahead and do it as planed. I have a friend in town and I really would like to take him..

I kept hoping the forecast would change, but for once it doesn't seem to be. I'd prefer to do it on another date, but I'll go with anything. I'd say let's let the people travelling farther decide what to do.

I agree. I want everyone else to decide and I will abide by what they want to do.

So far we have two votes for change the date, and one vote for keeping it as planned.

I'll show no matter the weather. But I understand if everyone wants to change it. I got my car all cleaned, waxed and ready. Damn, I was looking forward to this. Lets keep this on the front page and see if the forecast looks any better by Friday. If not, then let's change it.

How about the next Saturday? April 12th is no good for me, I have to be in Toledo for a family thing.

This stinks.. it is a long haul for me so I'll cancel if the forecast rings true. You local guys should still hook up, ..a reschedule on short notice won't get you a very good turnout I fear. Unfortunately, my April is quite busy, with househunting, bachelor parties etc.

RATS!

I just checked <a href="http://www.weather.com" target="_blank">www.weather.com</a> for the weather on Saturday and it looks like things are clearing up. I say we just keep it as planned as the weather is clearing up and a lot of people seem to have cleared their schedule for this Saturday. Just my opinion.

I'll follow thru with whatever anyone wants to do. Although if the weather is total crap, I'll be driving the "other" car....

According to channel 7's weathergeek it should stop raining by 9 or 10am with a temp in the 40's. That's ok by me. Are we still on?
