Friday night forecast: A lot of fuss over 1-2 inches of snow

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER I guess you have to err on the side of caution these days, considering the legal ramifications, but I've never seen a forecast of one to two inches of snow get everybody scrambling like this. Not to sound like one of those great, great grandpas who used to talk about having to walk five miles in two feet of snow in a pair of torn shoes to get to school, but postponements aren't what they used to be. I mean we used to have to have at least three, four inches of snow on the ground before anything was postponed around here. I remember the days when I was in school, hoping Old Man Winter would pile it on so I'd get a day off from school, or at least a delay, and a half-a-foot wasn't good enough to get it done sometimes. But here it is 12:30 on Friday and nothing is coming down yet here on Groller's Corner and almost the entire boys basketball schedule has been postponed or was played on Thursday night. The latest is that the Easton at Northampton game has been moved to Monday night, and the Bangor at Northern Lehigh game has been shifted to Wednesday night. The Wilson at Southern Lehigh game is now going to played at 11 a.m. Saturday. Parkland at Allen is now off. Still waiting on a rescheduled date on that one. Liberty at Nazareth has been moved to Weds., Feb. 6. Notre Dame at Saucon Valley game has been moved up to a 4 p.m. start since this incoming blizzard isn't supposed to begin until the late afternoon. Here are the predictions on the two games being played, one tonight, and the other tomorrow morning: COLONIAL LEAGUE Notre Dame 66, Saucon Valley 58 -- The Panthers went 0-5 against their fellow South Division rivals the first time through. They may not go 0-5 this time, but they won't go 4-1 -- which is needed for them to get into districts. Wilson 64, Southern Lehigh 56 -- It's the battle of the Bobs. Two of the area's longest-running coaching tenures -- Frankenfield and Shaffer -- go head-to-head yet again. Warriors want payback from the team that handed them their lone loss of the season.
