I was thinking the same thing about a week ago, when it really started to get cold. Too bad indeed.

Yeah, but with a little wind it might still provide some "shock & awe".

I had to bring my brass monkeys in last evening!

It is starting to get cold in paradise.

OK Grizo, Time to replace the 'Bow pic with a Rocky Mtn whitefish pic.
Run down to the Bitterroot and drown some whitefish flies & maggots.
I got a hankerin' to smoke some fish......if I could only get 'em to stay lit !?!?

That's true, joe...with no other team in Washington/Grizzly, we might be able to score a few offensive touchdowns, and win a late season game! ;)

It was the same here in Bozeman yesterday. So damn cold. Too bad the Cat/Griz game couldn't have been played during this bitterness. It doesn't feel like a true Cat/Griz game without below zero temps and snow.

I was in Bozeman over Thanksgiving weekend. It was snowing like crazy when I got up on Saturday morning with serious wind chill and my first thought was that it was a waste of perfectly good playoff weather.

It was 17 this morning at my house in the warm and cozy South.

I think the cold thing is slightly over rated. I've been up in Montana several times during the winters, and let me assure you that 20 degrees there is a whole different animal than 20 degrees in the South East. Last I was there, I was shocked to find out what I thought was 40ish degree weather was actually in the teens. In that climate, the actual temperature always feels warmer then it is.

Its the Southern humility that makes the difference :rolleyes:

While I can agree with you to some extent......I can't recall ever being ice fishing on Canyon Ferry Lake thinking.....wow, this -30 temp feels warmer :eek:

:bawling: :bawling: Two years in a row that I lament and regret the fact that I am not visiting Washington Grizzly Stadium for a semi-final game. :bawling:

This date that I keep counting on is obviously not working out. Why don't we change plans and have the Griz :nod: visit Cheney twice next year? Woodward will have further improvements, and while not as large and impressive as WSG, has a better view and is just as cold as Missoula in December.
