Duke University basketball fans Jill Ciporin and her husband, Dan, will have to miss out on the game they look forward to every year – the one often called the greatest rivalry in sports.
The Ciporins, who live in Greenwich, Conn., are snowed in and won’t be able to make it to the Duke-UNC game in Durham tonight. They haven’t missed this game in the past six years. Their son, Peter, is a Duke sophomore studying computer science, and Jill graduated from Duke in 1984.
The snowstorm that blanketed much of the northeast shut down thousands of flights, including all of the ones Jill tried to book.
