1/17 & 18 Update (late Thursday)

DateThursday, January 15, 2026 at 10:16PM

Sorry about the late post, but we've been watching the forecasts carefully yesterday and today. (all week TBH) We're between a rock and a hard place with the various weather forecasts.

Saturday is supposed to be fairly warm, but that's because there's a front moving through that's carrying cold weather behind it for Sunday. The winds forecasts are between 15 and 20 MPH most of Saturday depending if you believe Wunderground, Windy.com or Accuweather. They're all in agreement on on thing though, that it's headed straight toward Mr. Simpson's place. Sunday is supposed to be a high of 40-42 degrees and 10 or so MPH going in the opposite direction. On top of that, Sundays have been really low attendance, last month we had 4 folks for Sunday.

Next Saturday is looking like reasonably warm, light winds and little chance of rain.

Based on all this we're going to delay a week to the 24th and hope for getting some better luck on the forecasts.
