Hello, fellow shooters.
It has being another successful year for Metrowest Tactical IDPA
Group. We’ve had more matches, better participation, more stages, more
props and more round count, more volunteers to MD and SO, then for
previous years. And, keeping up our tradition, we are going to hold
our 4-th winter IDPA Match.
The name of the match “Frozen Penguin” became so popular, that folks
in Pennsylvania named their winter IDPA sanctioned match the same
way,… well, even before us. So, trying to avoid any discrepancy, we
have come up with new and authentic name for our well known in the New
England, “Nor’easter IDPA Match”.
This season, Nor'easter will take place on January 24, 2009 at Harvard
Sportsmen’s Club.
Registration at 9:15, safety briefing at 9:45. first shot at 10:00 am.
Expect to enjoy 1 indoor/low light stage, 4 outdoor stages.
I’m looking for the volunteers to help set-up and SO the match.
Please, PM me off the line at:

Quote From Wikipedia,
A nor'easter (also northeaster; see below) is a macro-scale storm
along the East Coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada. A
nor'easter is so named because the winds in a nor'easter come from the
northeast, especially in the coastal areas of the Northeastern United
States and Atlantic Canada. More specifically, it describes a low
pressure area whose center of rotation is just off the East Coast and
whose leading winds in the left forward quadrant rotate onto land from
the northeast. The precipitation pattern is similar to other
extratropical storms. Nor'easters also can cause coastal flooding,
coastal erosion, hurricane force winds, and heavy snow. Nor'easters
can occur at any time of the year but are mostly known for their
presence in the winter season.[1] Nor'easters can be devastating and
damaging, especially in the winter months, when most damage and deaths
are cold related, as nor'easters are known for bringing extremely cold
air down from the Arctic air mass. Nor'easters thrive on the
converging air masses; that is, the polar cold air mass and the warmer
ocean water of the Gulf Stream.[1]
