Chicago, Let the traveling begin in a week.

[Rock Solid]

BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH WESTERLY WINDS OF 10 MPH WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILLS OF AROUND 30 BELOW ZERO... WITH SOME LOCATIONS OCCASIONALLY LOWERING TO NEAR 40 BELOW TONIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. WIND CHILLS WILL RISE TO 20 TO 25 BELOW ZERO BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

THESE LOW WIND CHILLS ARE VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU MUST GO OUTSIDE... MAKE SURE TO COVER ALL EXPOSED SKIN.

A WIND CHILL WARNING MEANS THE COMBINATION OF WIND AND VERY COLD AIR WILL CREATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILL VALUES. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA OR DEATH IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN

I remember when Jim Davis had his bases melt before the Seawall brawl. His car broke down and his men baked in the sun.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MEN, THE BASES , OR ANY ACCESSORIES IF THEY ARE LEFT IN A CAR TRUNK WITH THIS TYPE OF WEATHER? DO YOU HAVE TO DRESS THE LITTLE MEN IS SNOW SUITS?

Ed speaks true....

It was -24 below where I live last night, and -27 where Tom lives, and expecting the same tonight. Why do I live here?

What I would do to get my wife to move back home to Cali

[Rock Solid]

I just got home from my girls home and the sign up the street from my house said 7 degrees and it is only 11 pm. The weather channel says it is 15 but even my car says it is less than 10.
My guys are still in the trunk. I think I will take them out to defrost tomorrow morning.
I sure hope the Embassy is darn hot inside.

Hate to do it to you guys......82 degrees in So Cal yesterday.

Loving life! It's a long way from my home city of Detroit, but I don't miss the weather.

Hey I got an idea. Why don't we recreate some of the greatest cold games in history. We could set up outside in the parking lot. I'd love to see that, from my hotel window.

Notice how Toms River where I live is now colder than both Chicago and Livonia , Mi. where last years convention was held. This is getting crazy now.

It is plain to see that Camarillo, CA is the place to go.

What does happen to bases when subjected to minus temps. ?

Are we allowed frozen bases when we can't have boiled ?
