> >Hey, did anyone see the Denver-Miami game ? Six inches of snow in September. >And they want to put a major league team in Denver ! > Yes Jim, but do you realize it was 70 degrees and sunny two days after the storm? If you feel Denver is to harsh, then I guess it's also time to move the teams from Milwaukee, Toronto, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Montreal, Cleveland, Detroit,...because they all have harsher climates than Denver. Roy P.S. One reason I moved here, from Chicago, was to get away from such long, harsh winters...

> Hey, did anyone see the Denver-Miami game ? Six inches of snow in September. > And they want to put a major league team in Denver ! Weather is very fickle, especially in Denver. It so happens that that storm caused the coldest weather ever recorded here in September, the point being, that was NOT typical September weather but rather an extreme case. (It only happened because I had to move that day (-: Ever tried to drive a 24' U-Haul in snow without snow tires? Or unload a refrigerator down a snowy ramp? Lots of fun...) Snow in Toronto in October is probably not out of the question either. Denver clearly has the fan support for a major league team. We aren't the ONLY city deserving of consideration, but certainly one of the leading candidates. --Greg -- {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | decvax!noao | harpo!seismo | ihnp4!noao} !hao!woods CSNET: woods@NCAR ARPA: woods%ncar@CSNET-RELAY "I don't know, but I've been told, it's hard to run with the weight of gold On the other hand I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the weight of lead"

> Snow in Toronto in October is probably not out of the question > either. I've lived in Toronto for 23 years, and I can't remember the last time it snowed in October. Toronto is one of the southernmost Canadian cities and its weather is very different from the rest of Canada and even Ontario, especially in winter when the arrangement of the Great Lakes makes us get very little snow compared with most other towns only 100 miles away. Typically, we don't get any snow that is still on the ground the next day until mid or late December. I don't have any figures handy, but I'll bet we get less snow than most Northern U.S. cities. I know we get a lot less than Buffalo. In other words, expect the playoff weather in Toronto to be no worse than what you would expect from New York, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, or Chicago. -- Jeff Richardson, DCIEM, Toronto (416) 635-2073 {linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd}!utcsri!dciem!jeff {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!dciem!jeff

> Snow in Toronto in October is probably not out of the question > either. I have lived in Toronto for over 6 years, and I do not remember it snowing in October. I have seen some recent statistics on Toronto weather and various American cities. Our weather here is very very similar to what the weather is like in Detroit. We all know that Detroit can host a World Series without having to worry about the weather. People seem to associate Canada will cold and snow. Just wait a week or two and then you can see the Toronto weather for the first two games of the World Series. In case you do not know where Toronto is, it is 50-60 miles north of Buffalo on Lake Ontario (but it is out of the 'snow belt'). In case you do not know where Buffalo is, it is on the eastern end of Lake Eire, about halfway between Chicago and Boston. If you do not know where Chicago and Boston are then .... -- Malcolm MacPhail, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto UUCP: {linus,ihnp4,allegra,floyd,utzoo,cornell,decwrl,uw-beaver}!utcsri!malcolm CSNET: malcolm@Toronto ARPA: malcolm%Toronto@CSNet-Relay --
