I know you'll keep this updated, but 7 day forecasts aren't worth the bytes they occupy IMO. I'm hoping to be in Boone Saturday, though I have to admit weather will be a factor in that decision. I've been to 3 games so far this season and the weather has sucked for each of them. My family have been troopers but I don't think they have another cold rainy game in them this season :(

[clenz]

Well it has been snowing in Cedar Falls non stop for about 13 or 14 hours.The ground went from brown grass to a couple inches of snow.

However, come kick off I'll say it will be about 70 with 0 wind.

I hear you. I took my 5 month old to her first game this year, which was against Furman. and Even though the rain stayed away It felt like the wind was 30 milles per hour. The only good weather game I have been to this year was Jacksonville.

The weather, the start time and my company's holiday party will be factors in my attendance.

[th0m]

I'm not a weather expert by any means, but whodathunk the Montana game would have the highest temperature?

I know, right? And who would have expected snow this time of year in Missoula? Not me!

[AppGirl]

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor dark of night shall keep me from my App game!

[biggie]

I'll be shocked if we have a dry game again, I've forgotten what those were like by now.

[KiddBrewer]

its been really weird.....seems like almost every game last year was beautiful weather, and this year seems like every games been dreary and wet. im not putting too much faith in the mostly sunny thing at this point, but i wouldnt mind it.

[T-Dog]

Well it has been snowing in Cedar Falls non stop for about 13 or 14 hours.The ground went from brown grass to a couple inches of snow..

It snowed in Boone from about 2 am Monday to 2 pm today (Tuesday) with little breaks and some big snow periods.

Now tomorrow it's supposed to be high of 47 so all that snow is going to be gone by Thursday. Then we go back to the freeze for the weekend with high temps right around freezing.

Looks like I'll be buying GamePlan. One plus - I can watch all the quarterfinal games now.

Was anyone hurt?

[mcveyrl]

Was anyone hurt?

Thankfully, no. It just messed up travel plans with the rental and such. It was our tailgatemobile that was involved.

Guy pulled out in front of me. After I got out, he says "I'm going to be honest: I have no insurance and when the police get here, they're going to arrest me for driving on a suspended license."

He was right on both accounts.xoopsx

Here's the old girl afterwards (note the #1 JMU Fan license plate):

Sorry to hear that. Nothing strikes fear in a NC driver like a TN plate. A FL Cadillac is a close secondxeekx

Hardly. Very very mild that weekend in western Montana. I think AZ must have been either very high or on the top of Granite Peak on September 01, 2008.

Boone is the only place I lived where is can be sunny (warm), cold and rainy, sunny (warm), and then a foot of snow. All of that happened in a 8 hour period in 1996.

While this post does mention a chance of snow showers, it makes no mention of the 100% chance of rain (in the form of purple and gold streamers) come game time.

xeyebrowx there may be a reason for that...

[wocterrier]

We didn't like those streamers. No, not one bit.

[JMU2K_DukeDawg]

Funny, I seem to remember lots of Wofford fans throwing them as their team scored. I thought it was pretty cool that you guys retaliated so to speak. :D xthumbsupx

My dad got married in June of 2002 (I believe) and it was 64 degrees on Saturday for his outdoor wedding, and we woke up to 6 inches of snow Sunday morning.

After my college years I spent a winter near Boone working for a ski lodge. Coldest damn place I have ever been. We would watch the news at night and it would be 32 degrees in Alaska, but -15 in Boone. It would snow every night, not every now and then, but every night. I'm not sure the kids went to school the whole month of January. The roads had so much snow on them we would ski from Blowing Rock down into Boone. Best day of my young life was when my car headed east off of that mountain. Coldest damn place on earth. I hope the weather is like that this weekend. Go ASU. I had to bite my tongue to say that.:D

[asucrutch23]

Yeah, we did the same thing at the App-JMU game. Everytime we'd score, we chucked those streamers right back towards the students that threw them our way. Unfortunately, it was mainly streamers headed our way and not vise versa after halftime. xnonono2x

You guys got somebody to change our diapers in there?? :D :p

[joecooll6]

HAHA You guys have weather.

Like the Delaware game last year, I think playing this one indoors is to the benefit of our opponent.

[Mountain Panther]

Yeah, most teams do crap themselves after the beating they take in there.

Yes, hopefully this year, our fumbles bounce into our players' hands, rather than opposing linebackers'.

[biggie]

Update to Boone, we'll see what happens as its always guessing.

"Bit of some tweaking for Saturday. Partly cloudy early with mostly cloudy skies near half time. Snow flurries look possible near 2nd quarter and beyond. Larger snow event could play out Saturday evening, night and early Sunday. Would not be surprised to have a snow burst or two, by the 4th quarter.

Mid to upper 30s. Dress for warmth and occasionally breezy conditions."

[UNIFanSince1983]

It has actually only been announced as 68 degrees the last few times I have heard...

[CatFan22]

Sounds like Bozeman. xrotatehx

[Ronbo]

High of 37 and chance of showers in Missoula.

[AppGirl]

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor dark of night shall keep me from my App game!

Unfortunately, a son with strep throat will. xbawlingx Have to give props to the Hubby, who offered to stay, since I missed the Western game to take this son to his soccer tourney. But, being sick, he wants his mom. xrulesx
So, we'll watch on game plan, and get him well so we can all go to the game next week. (Hopefully there is a game next week. xprayx)

Dang. Hope he gets better soon. Strep is no fun.

As someone who is also watching Gameplan, there is the added advantage of getting to watch all the Quarterfinal games. I will be sitting in my recliner at noon and having a little FCS quarterfinal party!!

[mineral griz]

We are 56 miles W of Missoula right now it has freezing rain
don't even walk on my deck all ice
We will leave at 8:00 am for the game
will put the truck in 4 wheel drive and arrive under an hour.

Good Luck Weber

Go Griz

Should be a great game
