Weather this coming weekend.
« on: February 18, 2013, 07:21:34 AM »
Just throwing this out there, but weather.com is showing potential for snow on friday/saturday in the york area. Light wintery mix and rain/snow showers, respectively.

I doubt it'll be a problem or anything, but the more you know.

I was just about to make a weather related post.

It would take a lot for us to cancel the event. That said, everyone please be careful!

I totally forgot about '09! Was that the year the snow plow caught on fire? I will have to see if I can find pictures of that.

There was a plow outside the hotel... ON FIRE!


EDIT/UPDATE: Nope, that was 2006!

The only way the event would cancel would be if the hotel itself was closed and the doors locked.

I remember '09.  The turnpike West of Harrisburg was shut down.  It was bad, but the show went on!

The blizzard in 09 was terrible, I think I was one of the last few to drive I084 before they shut it down.

Don't jinx us!

Yea, the weather seems to hit every other year.

This thread got me wondering, how many years has it been since you guys started having the event at Park Inn vs the other Holiday Inn it was at before? That year was my first LAN event, been here ever since...

2007 was the only year we were at the Holiday Inn in York. We tried working with them getting the power we needed. Day of the event we came to find they didn't do it the way we agreed and rented a generator. They were not pleased with how much it cost them. I like the height of the ceiling at that location, it kept a bit cooler.

But FITES actually has been having their LANs at the current venue since 2002 I believe, but in the upstairs ballroom. In 2004 they had an event at an auction house. In August of 2006 we moved to the downstairs ballroom, but only half of it. But FITES kept coming back to the Park Inn (formerly Holiday Inn) because they have done good by us. (RE: Powa)

More FITES history than you needed right? ;)
