The pioneers are giving way to some of the big guys who can weather all the change.

Obviously things don't look good right now. But a week of 50-degree weather could change everything. Right now it's just to early to tell how things will move forward.

I am completely focused on accepting the things I can not change, and I can not change the weather and player injuries. But when we have the luxury and privilege of having a combined men?s and women?s tournament for the first time, and we have a Connecticut native who is on his way back up after some struggles, who brings a group of fans who give this stadium an almost-Davis Cup feel, I feel lucky. I feel grateful.

This is a major change in the weather pattern. A low-pressure system is setting up over the West for the first time all season.

A rapid change of weather forced several rocks to tumble and slide down the gradient. The rocks hit a group of tourists who were en route to the peak and three were killed.

It's a very unpredictable area. Weather can change on a heartbeat.
