Ugh! What a heartbreaker of a game!
The weather here today is AWFUL!!!!! Snow and freezing rain. The roads are covered in ice. I hate to see what this is going to do to IN and MI--lake effect sucks!
Good news is it's supposed to warm up tomorrow so it will all melt and just be wet slush everywhere.
