Maybe it's a good time to revisit this

SNOW POLICY!!!! – Friday Night Swing, Polish Home, 9 First St, Windsor Locks, CT
As a general rule of thumb, I do NOT cancel dances due to snow. Unless it is a MAJOR snowstorm that
encompasses all regions people drive from, or is centered in Windsor Locks, CT. As you all know, folks
travel from about a 40–50-mile radius from Windsor locks, and as we all know with New England weather …
it could be snowing in Northampton or New Haven, and have nothing to very little snowfall here.
To illustrate this, I have cancelled only 5 dances due to weather in the last 32 years. I am more apt to
cancel due to Ice Storms than a few inches of snow. After all, this is New England. You should know how to drive in snow. If not, stay home.
USE YOUR HEAD!!! The main roads to the Polish Home are major routes and are well maintained
in the winter. This hall is less than 1 mile off the Highway (I-91). If the driving is treacherous in your area, stay home. If not, come on down. I do take into consideration timing of the storm, amount of snowfall, road conditions, icing, etc.
A decision will be made by 4:00PM the evening of the dance and will be posted on the website (DjKenM.com), Hartford/Springfield Friday Night Swing Facebook page, an E-mail will be sent to those on the e-mail list and messages on the answering machines for the following numbers … 860-749-5434 & 860-559-6179 will reflect any announcements. If I do cancel a Friday Night dance, and the hall is available, I will do that Saturday night instead ... providing there is no conflict with another dance close by.
