The Parent Poison…

Most parents want the best for their kids.

But sometimes, without realizing it, they slowly poison the very team their child is part of.

It rarely starts with something dramatic.
It starts small.

A comment in the car ride home.
“Why didn’t the coach play you more?”

A comparison.
“You’re better than that kid.”

A quiet complaint at the dinner table.
“That coach doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

Kids hear everything.

And when they hear it, something changes.

Doubt creeps in.
Blame grows.
Trust fades.

The mindset shifts from team first to me first.

What begins in the living room eventually shows up in the locker room.

You see it in body language.
You hear it in conversations.
You feel it in the culture.

Instead of unity, there are whispers.
Instead of accountability, there are excuses.
Instead of growth, there is resentment.

Great teams cannot survive that environment.

Because the best teams are built on three things:

Trust.
Sacrifice.
Shared purpose.

When players start believing the problem is everyone else, those things disappear.

Parents play a powerful role in a team’s culture whether they realize it or not.

The healthiest teams have parents who:

Support the program.
Encourage resilience.
Teach their kids to handle adversity.

They remind their children:

Work harder.
Be a great teammate.
Control what you can control.

They don’t feed excuses.
They build character.

And here’s the truth most people miss:

A parent’s influence extends far beyond their own child.

It affects the locker room.
It affects the culture.
It affects the entire team.

Great teams require unity, not whispers of criticism.

So the challenge for parents is simple.

Be the adult in the room.

Guard your words.
Model respect.
Support the team.

Because what starts at home always finds its way onto the court, the field, or the locker room.

And the best parents don’t poison the culture.

They protect it.

I've been forecasting for two decades and I can't recall a time when so many areas were simultaneously covered by a winter storm warning.

In the United States, 53 percent of the total population is under an alert for this storm.

[Ben Noll @BenNollWeather]

The #HudsonValley will probably have a three-day weekend!

I’m expecting 10 to 20 inches of snow from the storm arriving on Sunday in the Hudson Valley — with localized totals possibly reaching two feet.

Because the cleanup will be so large and snow won’t end until Monday afternoon, you’ll probably have a three-day weekend!

➡️ Timing

Snow is expected to start between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. Sunday from south to north. The bulk of the accumulation will occur from Sunday into Sunday night, but light snow will probably continue through Monday morning.

The worst of the storm is expected on Sunday afternoon and evening when snow rates may reach two inches per hour. During that time, travel may become impossible as deep snow covers roads.

➡️ Amounts

Because of frigid temperatures in the lower portion of the atmosphere and lots of rising air, this storm is primed to produce big, fluffy snow flakes that pile up with ease.

For most of the region, this will be an all-snow event. That means 10 to 20 inches of snow will easily accumulate, with localized totals possibly reaching two feet — especially in hilly, mountains areas.

On Sunday evening, snow may change to sleet closer to New York City, including Rockland and Westchester Counties, which could keep snow totals toward the lower end of the forecast range. But even in these places, there will be a lot of snow. A crusty layer of ice on top of the snow will make it harder to shovel.

➡️ Impacts

On Sunday, especially after noon, deep snow cover may make roads impassable and lead to closures. Blowing and drifting snow — with wind gusts of 15 to 25 mph — may create disorienting conditions late in the day.

School closings are very likely on Monday as snow gradually ends and the cleanup begins.

For people flying into and out of hubs in the Northeast on Sunday and Monday, expect numerous cancellations. Consider changing your plans.
