    That's easy. I pick cold weather. Your wife doesn't scare me. But, don't tell her where I sit, please.

    My bold predictions for the Western final: 1. Janarion Grant shows up. 2 return TDs 2. BO goes over a 100 yards mostly in the 4th as we grind down the clock 3. Zac is average but effici

    I am trying to balance any advantage I think bad weather would give us, vs the death stare I will get from my wife for dragging her to a freezing cold stadium.

Ah, yes, I grasp your point. But, you see, if you've ever resided in a place with a incessant humidity (which is  unlike Winnipeg), you'll appreciate the bone-chilling embrace of a damp, 4-degree day. Those morning practices in Vancouver will leave them quite soaked and shivering. Never underestimate the bite of a damp cold, my friend.

I'll attest to that.

-10 in the Great Lakes is just different than Prairie -10.

    Are you sure? Pretty sure we are just hardier people out here. Can't wait for the Chad to get his first taste of sub zero football as starter.

    He is from Buffalo.

    What's Hamilton looking like these days?

    Long range for the 19th is 10 and rainy.

     

     

    EDIT: for those unaware, Buffalo is on the leeward shore of the lake and has double Winnipeg's annual snowfall and bitter cold humid air.

    Buffalo a zillion years ago. Never played cold weather football at any serious level of competition. At any rate tho, doesn't sound like it will be too bad in S. Ontario.

    I don't know what it looks like, but I am pretty sure I know what it smells like.

    Lions will be ready to play Saturday. Big play VA and offence will give Winnipeg a good fight. Looking forward to a good game. 

    No doubt about it that big play VA is an apt name, unfortunately, some of those big plays are usually interceptions at very costly times so I suspect our ball hawks are looking forward to that.

    Ever try a minus forty with highwinds at the corner of Portage and Main.....coldest spot in the country...I know first hand cuz I worked there....   Bitter cold man but exhilarating if you were born in the Peg

    Was only there once for -40. Dad often took me there on business and we'd fit in a Jets game. This one particular time we were with an associate from his Nassau office who had never even seen snow before. A cherished hilarious memory of seeing him take off down the street at a Johnsonesque sprint to get back to our hotel.

    Never implied that Winnipeg doesn't see the nether regions of the thermometer. Just that humid cold hits different.
