Bloomfield Christmas Tournament -- Weather Update

Posted Monday, December 24, 2012, at 9:40 AM

Just spoke with Bloomfield Christmas Tournament Director Dustin Hicks.

If Wednesday's games are postponed due to the forecasted snow in the region, a decision will be made and announced by 7 a.m. that morning.

The early contingency plan would be to start the tournament Thursday and conclude it with championship night on New Year's Eve which is next Monday. Should there be two days of postponements, the tournament could very well end on New Year's Day.

Check back Wednesday morning for any updates.

Merry Christmas!

Based on my observations we will receive less accumulation than originally predicted and the accumulation amounts were very inaccurate /exaggerated for Kennett, Mo.
