Bummer. Are you getting weather up there that interfered with it?
I lived the majority of my life in Ohio. I know how the weather can change quickly.
I remember plenty of late night drives in hazardous conditions for gigs up there. Every gig was around an hour drive for me. I lived in an area where there was nothing close that hired bands often. I have been a witness to a number of accidents during these times as well and have stuck around to fill out police reports for those. Some of them were crazy. Thankfully nobody was ever seriously hurt with the ones I witnessed.I don't think it should've been cancelled, but our other guitarist was worried about the roads since it's apparently pretty well out in the country - it's cold and cloudy and we've had some flurries, but I probably wouldn't have cancelled. That said, I'm one vote out of 3 so since the percussionist agreed with Mark, I'm good with the decision - they've both been out there before, I haven't.

I remember a few gigs where they made us stop playing early because the ice was getting really bad and they wanted us to be able to get home. I really don't miss those days. It is probably better to be cautious. I live where it never snows or gets down to freezing temps and there are a lot of places that hire bands within 30 minutes of my house. Moving here was definitely a boost to my gigging life. Hopefully now that you are involved with these guys, there will be plenty of gigs ahead of you.
What the??? It's almost no chance of precipitation after 4:00 today, and very light if anything until then. And, it's above freezing until about 2:00 AM tonight... there is no bad weather here. I drove the Camaro today,which I never do if there is snow, or even a lot of rain...I don't think it should've been cancelled, but our other guitarist was worried about the roads since it's apparently pretty well out in the country - it's cold and cloudy and we've had some flurries, but I probably wouldn't have cancelled.

No, sometimes in circumstances like this, that's the only thing that makes sense.I think you should just go and play with yourself...
...hmmm, I don't think that came out right.

Bummer that your gig got cancelled!
