Big weekend coming up but huge snow storm and cold temperatures on the way. When do they pull the plug? Second rate anyway with Jeff Cup going on the same weekend. All the real teams and coaches are at Jeff Cup anyway.

So when does NEFC pull the plug on the Girls tournament?

I didn't hear of any player deaths during the tournament games that were actually played today, so I think your kid should be OK with temps 20deg warmer next weekend. Snow will be fresh and easy to clear by the weekend. Good luck and have fun!

Weather should be fine. My fake player and his fake team are staying local and playing up an age group to get some good competition. We are saving some real money.

Unbelievable hate here. I for one am glad our D team is playing local next week. I cringe at the thought of driving to Jefferson. It's not a showcase for u14 and below. What's the point really ?

10-20 degree nights all week freezing the base under the turf and ice embedded in the turf itself after plowing have to be concerning. Lots of potential for injury even if it warms to 40 Saturday. Good to get out and play but but odds are against it.

It's going to require a pretty big effort to pull this off this year. Snow totals look substantial. It's an expensive proposition to clear that many fields.

Two years ago they had a storm on the Thursday before, with piles of snow already everywhere and were able to plow and pull it off. Temps in 40's with 3 days to plow. Pretty sure it's more likely to happen than not. Enjoy your drive to Virginia though.

My nine year old and her teammates played on those fields at GPS two weeks ago. It was 15 degrees with a 20 mph wind. Girls had to bundle up, but they pushed through it and had fun. Was it ideal? No, but in comparison 40 degrees next weekend will be like playing in Bermuda.
I haven't yet gotten around to moving her to a southern California club to fulfill her national team destiny, but I'll put it at the top of my to do list to avoid playing in spring skiing weather.
