So right now the wind chill is forecast to be -15°. At a -19° wind chill frost bite can occur on exposed flesh in about 30 minutes. Lets say the forecasts are wrong and its actually colder than what they are saying, which is entirely possible if snow is on the ground, and we get a wind chill of -19 or below. In this scenario how many drunk idiots are going to lose their fingers because they lose a glove? I just hope it isn't any of you guys! [Reply]
Its time for a dome! We will be having a shit ton of home games in late December and January. Plus we will get a Super Bowl and we'd have a really good shot at being the first team to play at home in the SB. [Reply]

That's not really why they didn't play the game in Mexico. [Reply]
Wind chill is for pussies. Real Arctic doesn’t need how a temperature “feels”. They go by the real temperature. 0ish is chilly but doable:
Dress in layers
Base layer should be polypropylene
Couple pairs of socks, preferably smart wool. Wool is best for socks
If you use cotton (not recommended), dont use it next to your skin
Stay dry. Likely not a biggie but if someone spills beer or coke down your shirt, get inside and dry off ASAP.
These things work like a champ for keeping your hands warm. I used them all the time when I was sitting in a pre-dawn goose blind when It was -20 or colder. They also make them for inside your boots. I know Walmart sells them, as well as a lot of sporting goods stores. As far as feet, you can't go wrong with artic Mucks, they work great even in the coldest weather.

That would be nice. :-) They probably don't want to deal with the clean up. [Reply]
