    I remember going to a Blazers game in late 1971 or early 1972. No ice before the game (we didn't' 24/7 ad nauseum weather coverage in those days) but by the time the game was over there was a thick sheet everywhere. The front parking lot at the old MC had a slight slope away from the building and the ice was so bad no one could get up and out that way. The lot attendants funneled everyone out down hill to Interstate Ave. It was without exaggeration just like bumper cars. Vehicles would glance off each other and just keep going. No one wanted to stop and exchange insurance info because you might get hit again and/or you'd never get traction again. My date lived in St. John's and I had a hell of a time finding streets that were flat enough to get her home. Then I had to get back to SEP. I bet PDX area body shops had a nice run of business for a couple of months after that......

    A good date would have offered to let you stay, kept you warm.

    Too bad. My dad finally got picked for the t-shirt exchange in our ninth year as ticket holders, and it will probably be postponed.

    The weatherman is often wrong. What if they postpone the game & the snow/ice isn't that bad? Not much snow/zirconia at my house right now.

    It's not about what's there now, it's about what will be there later. After 5 p.m., IT BEGINS.

    What's the worst thing that could happen if they have the game? I can survive on hot dogs, popcorn and beer for a long time...

    If it's Stephanie on KPTV or VanDyke on KOIN I don't really care if they're right or wrong.
