Bring a shovel...

I know we have been hyping the hell out of the possible snow drift, and we are just beside ourselves with the way you all have stepped up to the plate, ready to battle against mother nature, and trust us, we are right beside you. We want this day to happen as much as you do. Unfortunately, Gateway is not sharing the same sentiment. They are very concerned about the severity of this storm and have asked us to reschedule. Their contact with the National Weather Service says it has the potential to become more severe than anticipated. All drivers registration will be applied to the next event once a make up date has been established. We are very disappointed with the weather and it's recent behavior. Disciplinary actions will be sought. Full Article>
