Threatening Weather, Should We Cancel Party??

I hate to be writing this. I was listening to the morning news and weather. They are predicting a storm this weekend. Saturday mid-morning it is supposed to start with snow flurries and then in the evening, change to freezing rain and rain, then Sunday again back to snow. I know that many of you are coming a distance and I am concerned for your safety. My question is: Should we cancel the party and look for another date? We would have to look into January or February and it still will have to be weather permitting. Please let me know what you think. I would have to let the lady who handles the clubhouse rentals know. I'd still love to have the party but I will leave it up to you as I don't have far to travel to the clubhouse. Thanks Lucy

I heard about that too and told Mike that if the weather turned bad we weren't going to drive that far, it's over an hour for us as well. I'm not sure what to do.....I'm willing to do whatever, except drive in the freezing rain.

Hi Monica. I am tending toward cancelling because of the safety issue. The only other option would be to have the party earlier and ending by 6 pm. Lucy

I say no - but if the consensus is to cancel then I will go along with everyone else because some of the others are coming from a distance away. weather.gov web site say high of 34 then in the evening it is to change to rain from freezing rain/sleet. The state roads should be fine with the crews and most towns will have their crews out also. Chris

Hi Chris, OK, now I have one - yes to cancel and one - no to cancel. I will see how it goes with responses and will make the decision by this evening and also check the weather to see if there are any changes. If we were lucky, the bad weather would be delayed for a couple of more hours.... Lucy

Actually, this type of weather on this coming weekend is not uncommon. I can always remember because we go to Moody Memorial Church (1600 N LaSalle) for a sacred music concert on the Friday of and then a former co-worker always has his Christmas party on that Saturday. I can remember anywhere from a few inches of snow on the ground, rain (in the 40 degrees area) to bitter, bitter wind. And in downtown Chicago the wind is nasty because we have to walk 2 blocks to the church from the parking and then stand outside until the doors open for the concert. So, if everyone is of the opinion to postpone we will understand. Just remember we get some nasty weather in January also. Chris

We've all had our share of driving in bad weather.......So if there's freezing rain in the forecast I say cancel, if it was snow maybe not........It's your call Miss Lucy...... Pam

Hi Miss Pam. Right now I am leaning toward canceling... I could have a few people in my house.... I think a lot of people will cancel but the ones that don't could come to my house. It's comfortable too. Decision will be made by later this afternoon. Thanks for your response, Lucy
