An Outdoor stadium in a state know for Jan-Feb blizzards.... too funny.

The Blizzard of 2006 was a nor'easter that began on the evening of February 11, 2006. It dumped heavy snow across the Northeast United States from Virginia to Maine through the early evening of February 12 and ended in Atlantic Canada on February 13. The major northeast cities from Baltimore to Boston received at least a foot of snow, with an all-time largest amount of 26.9 inches (68.3 cm) in New York City, the most since at least 1869, the start of record keeping.

White Out: The Storm of 2010
Blizzard-like winds causing enormous drifts in some parts
Updated 10:25 AM EDT, Thu, Feb 11, 2010

Snow blanketed the tri-state area today and many more inches of it were expected to fall this evening as blizzard warnings remained in effect throughout the region, prompting the closure of schools and cancellation of most flights out of the area.

NYC public schools will, however, be open on Thursday, Mayor Bloomberg said. Check other school closures.

"Sorry about that to all those who wanted a day off," Bloomberg said in a press conference late Wednesday, adding that after-school programs in city schools will also resume tomorrow.

The mayor also made a plea for blood donations, as the city's bloodbanks were hit hard by people staying home during the storm. Bloomberg also said the city was working overtime to clear streets and major thoroughfares by Thursday morning. The Department of Sanitation deployed about 1,600 plows, and 2,100 workers were on 12-hour shifts.
