Calling for 4-8 inches of snow or more on Friday, because of course it is. I looked at the seat map and it's approaching a sell out so in comes more bad luck to keep everyone away.
Friday Weather, Here We Go Again
- Thread starter GT Hawkaholic
- Start date
Yep I bought 3 tickets 2 days ago and see the forecast changed right after that, ****ing pissed!!!!!!!!!!
Long ways away. Do you actually believe weather forecasts? We were told we were going to get 6-9 inches where I live and we got maybe 2" total. For all their modern equipment, they still get plenty wrong. Let's hope this is one of those cases.
I'm going to assume the possible snow storm is Fran's fault. If only he could recruit and coach defense snow storms wouldn't be a problem.
< insert bad joke about Fran's snow white starting line up early in the season>
you do realize that a forecast that far out is not the final say. The closer we get you can get a handle on the track and even then it can turn a little on you.
yep if they're calling for snow, expect clear and sunny
This storm system looks legit I fear they may have this one pegged now it just took them until right after I got my tickets, I had been waiting for this very thing/issue to see the forecast/details about 10 days out and sure enough.....
forecasters are right 15% of the time. Using that criteria the snow will be in the 1\2 inch to 1.4 inch amount.
I’m driving 3 hours and don’t care what the forecast is. Slow down and take your time. Did it last week as well.
If it were just me 1000% I have small kids with me and if it wasn't 8pm I agree with you as well. Will be day of type of decision just read more details confirming it doesn't look good.
I would just sell your tickets now then on StubHub or Vivid.
There are other games and you can get your tickets in the hands of someone who will be there.
I doubt there will be enough demand with the weather impact to get them sold and I will need to specifically have someone who is taking 2 youths and 1 adult, those pricing options are great but makes it harder to sell.

Yep...This really pisses me off, promised my boys awhile ago we were going to this game and this shit happens.
Yeah nearly bought tickets for this game as well and probably would have otherwise. Drove to the Maryland game last week. The trip there wasn't bad despite the rain but the trip back was 40 mph on 4 lanes.
Brutal, yea the weather issue came a bit out of nowhere for MD as well, this one at least has a bit more time to hopefully be wrong but it doesn't look good on everything I've read today.

Meteorologists provide the best forecast they can with the data supplied to them via models. They can’t stop it from changing or predict it changing with any consistency. If you follow any one social media then you know what I’m talking about. They see storms coming but all the different models are rarely in agreement until the storms hit, even then things happen and it’s worse or better than projected.
Yeah they predicted 5-8" for Iowa City and they only missed by 5-8".
Keep in mind that you can’t sell youth tickets on Stubhub if you do change your mind.
Haha....Yeah.should have waited til friday morning to tell them
live and learn....
Yep I figured with the tiered pricing there was no point in trying to sell them and there will be plenty available if in fact this storm comes to fruition so I'll just eat it and consider it a donation to the program....
You might be able to find someone on Craigslist or something like a local FB market place. Especially if you’re in a metro like DSM. Get a few bucks back and possibly help another Hawk fan. Never know and it costs nothing to list them. *Like the donation idea - Ronald McDonald House*
Hopefully everything holds off and you’re able to go and the crowd is rockin’. Last year’s Michigan game was a top 5 in my limited CHA experience.
Yeah in Metro area I would just assume similar impact to anyone trying to come from here if bad enough. I considered some of that though yep but I'm going to hold onto them and hope for the best otherwise there will be ample tickets on the market Friday if in fact it is hitting.
For the record, I know the last forecast was horribly missed but unlike that one which always had a sharp cut off, the entire State seems to be in for 4 to 8 inches this time for what I'm saying. Even if it doesn't come to fruition, people are going to make their plans based off of what they see 2 to 3 days out
National Weather Service Des Moines just posted it looks more and more likely significant system will impact region just now...Timing and temperatures are the uncertainty but the system is on course.
I spent a grand on a new blade, chains and weights for the lawn tractor. I doubt it will ever snow again...
I put up a snow fence for the first time after countless years of getting drifted in ...starting to think the same on never snowing again lol
That's one way to get to the game.
I took two meteorology courses, the second one consisted mainly of forecasting models. It's just stupid how complex the factors are that determine a storm hitting a location or missing by 50 or 300 miles. A system stalling by 12 hours can cause a system behind it to move hundreds of miles or stall itself for longer than that.
This weather shit better miss us or improve myself and 2 boys want to get our ass to Carver Friday, LETS GO HAWKS!!!
