Six Flags Great Adventure cancels snowball fight because of snow
PhillyVoice ^ | 12/9/2017 | ANDREW PARENT

Behold the irony of snow-related ironies: Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey opted to close on Saturday and cancelled its planned attempt at a world record snowball fight.

The reason?

Snow, of course.

The Central Jersey amusement park had assured everyone earlier in the morning that the "massive family friendly snowball fight" would go on as scheduled despite the season's first snowstorm, which was expected to bring as much as six inches of snow in parts of the Garden State on Saturday. (The Philadelphia area is still set for 2-4 inches.)

Another artical for global warming lol’s. Another version of what I call Gorony (Al’s own brand of irony). Throw a science convention to discuss shrinking ice mass in the Arctic and get shiplocked on a glacier.

Two inches is too much for them? I remember when our kids used to out into six inches or a foot of new snow, build snow castles, and invite all their cousins over for a fight.

Meanwhile, the kids and the dogs made paths everywhere.

Forecast for Northern NJ is 1-3 inches

Usually get more because inland is colder away from ocean
and higher elevations

Often will be rain or sleet in South, snow where we are....

Let me guess...they were planning to SELL artificial snow. They canceled because of the competition from Mother Nature.
