Sports practices for softball and baseball teams throughout the White River Valley were being held in gymnasiums and school corridors this last week, as playing fields continued to be covered in as much as two feet of snow.

Students in shorts could be found on town roads and village sidewalks running sprints, as running at the fields is impossible.

It may be the latest snow in memory, but the teams and their coaches are still planning—and practicing—for a full season.

After all—the Boston Red Sox held their first game on Tuesday in Tokyo. Can spring be far behind?
