Bowl Weather

Sarcasm 101...

I don't know if 71 will remember this, but he and I met at a UL/APP State basketball game in Boone in early January when the temperature before the game was probably in the 50's. By the time the 7PM game ended that evening, I was walking back to my truck and I think the temperature was in the low teens to single digits and it had begun to blow snow on the mountain. It might have been the coldest I have ever been in my life.

Seeing high of 37 now.

Um, toasty.

[BayouRichard]

Um, toasty.

Oh yeah! Frozen toast. More like one of those freezer waffles!

Ugh. I hate 37. 37 is depressing Midwest overcast ___ weather. 25 is so much better. It's colder yes but your body can't tell the difference.

At 25 every just feel alive ironically. The air is crisp and clear and everything is silent. We would go up to my grandpa Schmidt's cabin upstate when I was little and I would wake up early then everyone. I'd walk outside just to hear the crunch of the fresh snow. The brook would be frozen solid and when you hit the ice you could hear the thwack and it would echo for miles. The only other sound would come from lone hoot from a friendly owl.

TL/DR. 25 > 37

Vivid imagery there Jo

Let me tell you about trying to boil crabs at 25 degrees in the FN mountains. Don't. The water never comes to a boil and everytime you try to add some ingredients you have to take you gloves off because the seafood seasoning bucket was not designed to be opened at 20 friggin degress. Lol. Great times
