I Thought it was APRIL, why is there SNOW!?

I woke up this morning to find that the weather was in the 30s and it was snowing. My first reaction was to check the weather for the weekend because it HAS to be nice for Relay. Here is the 10 Day Forecast:

Weekend Forecast as of Monday 

So as you can tell by looking at this, it should be 46 on Friday. I'm trying to be positive because it came up three degrees since this morning. I am not particularly fond of staying up all night in 40 degree weather, but I am glad I kept my wind breaker at school. Saturday is supposed to be in the 50s so that should be good, but we will only be outside until noon so it probably wont reach its highest. I will keep everyone posted on the weather situation until Relay.

Relay cannot be rainy or snowy and here is why:

First, cooking and eating burgers with a charcoal fire will not work if its rainy. Also, who wants to stand in the cold and make food for everyone there and who wants to eat a soggy burger? But notice, I said burgers. YAY WE HAVE FOOD!

Second, no one wants to walk around in whipping winds. I will do it for a good cause, but people are not going to be happy about it. I'm thinking we should all get together and make a 300 person snuggie. Any takers?

Blah, Rain.

Third, luminaria bags need candles. Candles cannot burn in rain or wind. The last thing we want are 100 bags catching on fire. Mercyhurst would not be too happy. The luminaria ceremony is the best part about Relay. It brings everyone together in a moment of silence to remember those we Relay for. If you plan on coming to Relay, make sure you are there for the luminaria at 8pm.

Fourth, WE'RE HAVING A BONFIRE! I learned the hard way that bonfires are not the most exciting thing in the wind and rain. Bonfires are also not very fun when you cover them for a minute, then open the lid to see if it is going out and have a giant explosion of flame come out. So I add, please make s'mores at your own risk.

Fifth, WE HAVE A BOUNCEY HOUSE! I'm 99% sure it is frowned upon to bounce in a bouncey house when it is raining. The only positive thing I can see is the bounce house will get your blood going and warm you up.

Those are the major downfalls of bad weather during our Relay, but you also got some surprises to what is in store on the day of Relay! I am very excited, and I hope there is a great turn out. Everyone tell Mother Nature to bring us some sun!
