12PM Pick-up game
Mitre Fields, Burlington, MA

Field: several inches of powder snow
Perfect conditions for Ultimate.

I actually can't believe I drove all the way from Arlington to Burlington right in the middle of a significant snow event here in the Northeast to get to pickup Ultimate. It was worth it, though, as we had a snowy, windy, layout-filled game.

Sun is shutdown for this week but I couldn't stop myself from going out for the lunchtime pickup game on Monday. Nice warm weather and the snow had all melted away with the after Christmas warmup.

After the barrage of snowstorms over the weekend, yesterday's field was covered in deep, fresh powder. As it turns out, running in two feet of snow is just as difficult as it sounds.

Mitre Fields, Burlington, MA
Weather: 35 F, Showers

Fortunately, the only way I was affected by Friday's unprecedented ice storm was with a quiet day at work. Living closer to Boston and the coast it was basically just a rain storm for me, but many who live north and west of Burlington were dealing with fallen trees and power outages. Ultimate though? Still on with a decent 5v5 game.
