Weather across the Northeast, New York, Michigan and the upper mid-west continues to delay and postpone games. With day time temperatures barely above freezing and night time temperatures well below freezing any exposed turf has been extremely slow to thaw and in many cases is still frozen. Add to that record snow fall over the winter in some parts, fields have yet to be snow free. Light snow is still falling regularly in northern and western NY and Michigan. Day time temps this weekend will not make it out of the 30's in many areas and the week ahead looks no better.
Many teams back from spring training in the south are now delayed for the second season, by winter that just does not know enough to quit.
