Am I missing something here?I don't think you are missing anything, in fact this year there are not many places you can play without some major weather issues. Most of the West Coast is cold and wet, with rain and even snow extending east, then more rain and then thunderstorms tornadoes in some areas. Arizona and New Mexico look good. Storms are forecast to continue arriving on the West Coast for roughly another 10 days, meaning the same bad weather will continue east. Have to hope it doesn't get any worse. It is possible they may not be able to properly complete the championship.
Parts of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada are forecast to get up to two feet of snow. I hope they catch a break.
