Salve Accolens!
After consulting with the sages who portend the weather, reading the tea leaves, and sacrificing a goat (at least one of those things didn’t happen – your guess!), I’m making the call that Archery Practice tomorrow will proceed as planned.
I checked the site this morning, and apart from a few puddles near the parking lot outside of our normal traffic area, there was nothing I saw that would hinder us from having our regular practice. That said, there is rain forecasted from now until the time that practice usually starts, so the ground will be soggy and you will want to wear appropriate footwear.
Also, be aware that the Pittsburgh Marathon is tomorrow, and there will be several road closures that may obstruct your route to the practice site, so check <a href=”https://p3r.org/media/W1siZiIsIjIwMjUvMDQvMTUvNGliMTF1cW92cV8yMDI1X0RTR1BNX1NlY3Rvcl9NYXAucGRmIl1d/2025%20DSGPM%20Sector%20Map.pdf“>this map of closures</a> (we’re off to the northeast of the blue O in the upper right corner) before planning your drive in, and be prepared for related traffic delays.
I’ll continue to keep an eye on the weather and if it escalates to sudden downpours or persistent rain beyond what’s been forecasted, I’ll make a last-minute call should the need arise. Watch this and all our other usual spaces.
Yours in service,
Niall mac Raedwulf, Captain of the Archers
