Frozen Tundra

Friends,

As one of my favorite ESPN fellows, Chris Berman, likes to say..."they are playing on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field." In the case of this weekend's NFC Championship Game -- really! The high for Green Bay is supposed to be 4 or 5 degrees, with wind chills to well below zero. The last time our family was dealing with these kinds of temperatures, we were living up in Dryden in the pear orchard and we had over a week of single digit and below zero temperatures. Fun stuff! I couldn't keep a car battery alive and the diesel fuel in the tractor plow was so gelled that there was no way to get it started. Thankfully, there was no snow. So, if anyone wonders why we moved to Texas, in part, it is because of temperatures and experiences like these mentioned. I don't do single digit temperatures anymore (unless it is by some total fluke of TX nature or visiting WA for the winter holidays), and I am happy to say so. :-) So, for the folks on the tundra, I hope you like frozen cheese...and go Packers.

Don
