Weather a lucky Coincidence?

It was rumored that a certain player was afraid to play up in
Division 1.  Happy coincidence that the weather was terrible
and said player couldn't make it?  I'll leave it to you to decide.
I won't name names, but both him and his lovely wife were supposed 
to be playing.

Despite the weather, the club was very pleased to see so many players 
come, including Huguette, Ben, and Matthew from Edmonton.  
The roads were terrible and it's one of the worst
snow storms we've had in a while.  It was very touch-and-go in the hour
before the tournament, as players were calling in saying they're stuck!
Not that 20-30cm (8-12in) of snow is that much.  But the gusting winds
created huge drifts, where many city buses were even getting stuck.
Temperatures plummeted to -25C (-13F).

In total, out of 30 players we only had 4 cancellations.  Again, with only
one notable exception, due to weather.

The Marathon is the annual favorite of many players.  It has a grueling
schedule of 12 rounds in one day, with only 2 half hour breaks.
