In his last post, Kosmo talked about how bad he felt for area skiers, who saw all the snow melt in a hurry earlier this week and thus could have their regional meets thrown for a loop without any snow. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Kosmo knows a group of coaches that couldn't be happier with the disappearing snow, that being area baseball and softball coaches.
With the start of practice for spring sports less than a month away (March 9), baseball and softball coaches rightfully have fretted with the brutal winter weather that their seasons might not start until mid-April at the earliest. Who knows how much more snow will come in the next month, but seeing mostly grass now has to be an encouraging sign that for baseball and softball coaches that maybe their seasons won't be as depleted as originally thought.
