I hope you're all somewhere warm and safe this evening, since (to quote the great W.C. Fields), it's not fit out for man nor beast!
When we saw how bad the snow and ice was, we cancelled our "Alexander" rehearsals this evening. Thank goodness no shows were taking the stage tonight!
This is the kind of weather every theatre company dreads. Actually, getting the right weather for a show is a bit tricky. If it's too cold or raining too hard, many people stay at home. If it's too sunny and warm, people don't want to go to a theatre - they'd rather go out and have fun.
So I guess the ideal weather you hope for when you put on a show would be dry, but just a little on the cool side - say about 60 degrees.
Which brings up another famous quote - this one by Mark Twain - something along the lines of, "Everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it."
That's enough rambling for one day. Stay safe, readers!

Due to the inclement weather, HHS's Production of Li'l Abner has been postponed until Feburary 19, 20, 21, 22. The kids had lost a week of blocking and were supposed to open next week. Who knows what is in store for next week's weather? They have one more postponement date available, but hopefully all goes well, and they can get up in February.
Stephen, thanks for the info - I posted it on the main page, too. Hopefully the weather will ease up on all of us!
