Frigid Weather

[billnchristy]

A friend of mine has a DG B-Day party in early January every year. We play golf and burn x-mas trees

Last year it was -20 C plus a vicious wind....had to be getting down into the -30 to -40 range with the wind

I once skied in a windchill of -62C ....they shut down the mountain just after we got to the top.....very cold ski down

That is nuts. There were a couple times up in Maine where you were not allowed to go outside because it was -80 with windchill...one of the few times I got a ride to and from school. :thmbup:

18 degrees, snowing, and to top it all off it was windy. There were cases where I couldn't see the basket that was 30 feet in front of me.

It was colder at the start of the round, but warmed up to -27C (-17F)... personal best! The discs weren't flying very far. After the round, I googled 'air density calculator' and air is about 22% denser at -27C than +27C.

Johnny, youre the only guy I know that considers playing in a certain temperature as a "personal best" , haha!

I played a lot last year when the temperatures were in the mid teens, with wind chill probably below zero. I think 11 degrees was the lowest temp I remember seeing before heading out. Not the funnest rounds ever, but better than nothing.

Hand warmers FTW!!!

I'll pm you with some cold weather tips and tricks later this afternoon/evening, Poth.

I have been meaning to get you prepped for war for a while now.

Honestly, I just throw whatever I have (half of which is white) and don't really have problems with losing anything in the snow (even the white discs).

I never let a little thing like winter slow me down when I lived up north! But holy crap it has been unseasonably cold down here in florida these last few weeks. Lows in the 30's and 40's!

I didnt keep track last winter, but so far this year its been in the twenty's in Va. I bet it will be colder than that when I go visit Iowa though.

Lulling you into a sense of complacency is a key part of my strategy.

Played a round last weekend in upstate, NY.

It was 25 degrees, and we picked up eight inches of snow that day, 4-5 of which fell while we were playing.

It was great!

As much snow as we got, it was not windy and we were playing a pretty heavily wooded course (Basil Marilla). This all led to some beautiful shots sailing through giant flakes and (mostly) trees.

That was my first snow game, and I loved it.

Oh, my buddy ripped a white disc with no spotter and paid the price. Other than that, no disc got left behind!
