My first snow delay!

Horrible conditions for baseball. Snow and 22 mph winds.

Sounds like a typical day in early April for Toronto.

Sounds like every Cubs home opener I've ever attended.

I wonder how heavy does the snowfall need to be in order to have a snow delay.
Do the groundskeepers have a tarp on during the delay?

Someday there will snowouts and rainouts in this game.

Chicago had a half an inch of snow on April 16 (or 17), 2011, while some of the suburbs had as much as three inches.

I remember 2007 Cleveland, that was a mess.

Clearly, there is something else going on here.
