Winter is Still Here
Amazingly, this was taken on Saturday morning, April 26, in Belgrade. Later that day the B-B-E Prom was scheduled!
I thought after the April 11th snowstorm, we had seen winter's last Hurrah.
I was wrong.
And I'm not amused. It is affecting sports teams all over, not to mention the havoc this is putting on our farmers.
The B-B-E area picked up 4-5 inches of snow on Friday night. It came down heavy through the night hours and tapered off by mid-morning. Prom still took place on Saturday afternoon/evening.
On Monday, the following is on the schedule: Jaguars boys golf at Kimball (4:15), Jaguars Fastpitch hosts Pierz (5:00), Jaguars girls golf at Pierz (4:15), Jaguars baseball at Pierz (5:00).
On Tuesday, the Jaguars track and field teams will host the third annual Lions Invitational, with the first events beginning at 4:15.
This week the weather forecast looks pretty bad, with low 60s on Tuesday after a high of 46 forecast for Monday. It goes downhill as the week goes on. I don't even know if all the snow will be melted off the playing fields for our teams on Monday.
