Local law enforcement officials were not singing for the rain to go away this weekend.
Instead, Penn State University police Supervisor Jason Zajac said the rain helped police by curbing the number of people that participated in Blue and White weekend festivities.
"Nothing abnormal happened ... the same stuff, public drunks and underages, a couple DUIs here and there," Zajac said. "I believe we had one DUI last night [on campus]. It was a typical Saturday night."
About 18,000 people attended the Blue-White game Saturday afternoon, according to the Penn State Sports Information Department. University police Supervisor Clifford Lutz said Thursday that he expected 60,000 people to attend the game.
Zajac added that there were only a "handful" of incidents -- mostly consisting of public drunkenness and underage citations -- that actually occurred at Beaver Stadium during the game.
AccuWeather recorded about 0.6 inches of precipitation; 48 degrees was the high temperature in State College Saturday.
Last year, the weather remained sunny and warm until the game was called in the very last minutes because of a downpour; about 42,000 people attended the 2005 Blue-White game last year.
State College Police Department Cpl. Tom Dann said the weather had a dampening effect on the weekend's crime rate.
"[The weather] lowered the number of calls we would typically have on a Blue-White weekend," Dann said.
He added that the department received about 85 calls Saturday night, which is 25 to 30 more than police receive on a normal weekend.
The sobriety checkpoints, planned by the Centre County Alcohol Task Force to "reduce or eliminate the injuries or deaths caused by intoxicated persons in Centre County," were canceled because of weather, Dann said.
