Just Jack Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That can't be right. It's never under 90 degrees on induction day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancasterSteve Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That can't be right. It's never under 90 degrees on induction day. Seems that way. The day Jim Kelly got inducted I got "cooked"; couldn't get enough water in me fast enough. Lucky that at least I had a hat. Many of the TBD'ers who made the trip took refuge in what little shade was provided by storage area's under the concrete bleachers, only to return to our seats for Kelly's induction.

Of course, that was only because it rained off and on all friggin' day ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 First change - now says 'isolated thunder showers' but keeps the 77 degrees. Sunday says showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv-Bills Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Getting better and better. For a couple of days it had storms on Saturday and Sunday. Now, it's sunny on Saturday and isolated storms on Sunday. Come on, being from VA, I want some cool weather and clear skies. It's fuggin been 95, muggy, and raining every day here. Can't wait to arrive in Canton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinVA Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 By gametime I predict it to be raining cats and pandas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 scattered/isolated T-storms (what's the difference?!?) back in for the weekend but the temp is going up. 79 for Sat 85 for Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Scattered thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday. I wonder what they'll do for the ceremony if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Scattered thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday. I wonder what they'll do for the ceremony if it happens. Worst-case scenario, the ceremony is moved into the gym at Canton McKinley HS next door. If that were to happen, I'm guessing it would be restricted to families and friends of the enshrinees. Here's the Severe Weather Plan from the media info booklet: In the event of severe weather, the enshrinement ceremonies will be moved to the McKinley HighSchool Memorial Field House. A limited area will be reserved for selected working media and photographers. Those members of the media seated in the press box should remain in the press box and a video feed will be supplied to the monitors. We will do everything we can to keep the enshrinement outdoors, but if the weather should make this impossible, we will appreciate your cooperation and understanding of the special problems we will face. IIRC, the Fawcett press box is higher than any part of the HOF complex. Yeah, that's where I want to be during a T-storm. (Of course, it would still be better than huddling under the stands or walking back to our cars in a downpour, which is where we'd be.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case...I'm walking out of the museum with like-kind memorabilia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 So would everybody be out $$ in that case? If that is the case...I'm walking out of the museum with like-kind memorabilia. You plan on stealing because it's raining outside? If you do, I hope you get caught. Cameras are everywhere these days. Spend a day in the county lockup, and have to return for a court date. And if you don't show, that's an outstanding warrant. You'll find out about that when you attempt to renew your vehicle registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 So would everybody be out $$ in that case? If that is the case...I'm walking out of the museum with like-kind memorabilia. Because they have to tear down the stage for the next night's game, I can't imagine they'd consider a postponement (although they might be willing to sit through a temporary delay). Nothing about weather issues on the back of the ticket, but the disclaimer does end with this statement: ABSOLUTELY NO REFUND FOR ANY REASON. So ... yeah, we'd probably be hosed.

I would hope that they only move it for a true dangerous situation. I've never really paid attention to the weather in the past, so you scared me a little with the venue switch. If I wanted to drop a few hundred bucks to watch Gibran Hamden for 30 minutes, I'd bring a few kegs to the Chicago game in Orchard Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact...I think I'm going to take the bust of Billy Shaw and have it welded to the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we're talking "We're not in Kansas any more, Toto" kind of weather. And I'm not completely sure (working midnights, and sometimes my sleep-deprived memory fails me), but I think they did temporarily suspend a previous HOF game for lightning, resuming after a brief delay.
