ianmdrennan 2 #2 January 13, 2004 Looks like we moved not a second too late. Still settling in here in Atlanta, but it sure was nice driving to the gym with my windows down Don't worry Jen, the company is shipping me back for a week in Feb so I'm sure you'll have another cold snap then.

Push 0 #5 January 13, 2004 If this is in Celcius, then we had -25 without the windchill here last Saturday (Ontario, Canada). Heck, I even did a hop&pop! -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

ianmdrennan 2 #6 January 13, 2004 Haven't picked a DZ yet. So far "The Farm" is looking promising when it opens up, but we're planning on visiting all the dz's in the area and making the choice from there. I don't think we'll actually get out to a DZ until Feb though. Only got here Friday and still have quite a few more things to do around the house. I'll be sure to look you up when we head out though. Stay safe, Blue skies IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #7 January 13, 2004 HA! Hey dude, I told T that you guys always have a place to stay if you decide to come down for a weekend and enjoy some warmer weather. We have 3 bedrooms so plenty of space. Blue skies IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #8 January 13, 2004 Sounds exactly like 2 days we had in chicago a week or so ago - SUCKS the big one. I JUST LOVE it when we get a week of 10degrees as the high, esp when you can count on the windchill taking bout 10 - 20 degrees off that wonderfull number. bundle up, we've already had numerous people die of this weather. frostbite can set in w/i 30 seconds. i'm just glad i'm not in NW Montana!!

RevJim 0 #11 January 13, 2004 I'm thinking the weather you posted is an average winter day here in Wisconsin. It doesn't really seem cold 'till it hits -15 during the day, without the windchills. Then again, anything up here above 33 or 34, this time of the year, is t-shirt weather.It's your life, live it!
