The CT Regional still has some open spots if you want to see snow.
It's almost guaranteed with the CT regional that a snowstorm happens that weekend. (We had a huge one last year on Friday evening/Saturday morning that dumped at least a foot or 2 on the state overnight.

I would have to say 5 out of the last 7 years at least it has snowed at least 6" that weekend.

And to top it all off, it's a large regional with the proposed 2 field set-up.

Just something to consider if you REALLY want to see some snow this year while competing. Just make sure to get a hotel close to the venue.

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional

If you are looking for a place to stay that is near the arena, there is a new hotel that just opened - Hilton Garden Inn on Route 130 South in Hamilton. It is about a 15 minute drive from the arena. There is a large shopping center directly across the highway with lots of restaurants and stores.

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional

Well to all of the nay-sayers about the snow, need I remind you all of two years ago when we got an ice/snow storm the day before the regional? You know the one where half the teams couldn't get there until half way through the day and the crowd was sparse at best? Or how about LAST year when we got a foot and a half of snow in week 4 or 5 of the competitions (I forget which week, but it was the week of the Chesapeake/NYC regional) and teams had to walk 20 blocks in snow and slush to get from Penn Station to the Javitz Centre?

Trust me, if you're from Florida (or anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line) you will be cold, and I'm willing to bet there will be snow. (It snows right through April out here, trust me, it's snowed every April since I've been born.)

Other than that, there's not much to do around here so I'd suggest making plans ahead of time, and trust me THIS regional is one that you WON'T want to miss!

Very good point George - I totally forgot about that snow incident. Many teams could not go because their school told them no - that seems to be the only true damper if there is enough snow (to cancel school). Hopefully we do not have to have this issue because we want all teams possible to show up Thursday to get their testing in. 2 years ago, many teams were not able to do that But we are all optomistic and will hope for sunny, warm, pleasant weather for the NJ Regional

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional

the weather really varies based on the year. The competition is the time NJ spring sports start. Some years the fields are covered in snow, other times you can wear shorts. so bring pants and a jacket, but snow isn't guaranteed.

its kinda interesting sliding all the way down (not exaggerating) a icy/slushy mountain in an SUV, luckily the roads were empty

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional

303 will of course be in attendance =]

Although in NJ we are unable to control the weather, as it has been said.. we can almost guarantee it will be nice and cold for everyone; as I'm sure you will all realize while standing in line Thursday morning, bright and early =D

Should be a greattttt competition, and we are ALL very excited on 303.
