Hey, we had that weather yesterday! Wind chill in the negative 20s plus a driving snow that was flying parallel with the ground. It's obvious that we're not as crazy as you Graham, there's no way you'd catch us paddling in that type of weather. Instead we we're doing some late season goose hunting along Pymatuning Lake...
That's my step brother Tom and his boy Matt retreiving a downed goose. They forgot to put their gloves back on after the shooting and about froze their fingers off by the time they got back to the blind. Looking into the wind felt like someone was blasting glass particles into your eyes. My face is still hurting from being out in it all day. Heres the crew trying to stamp themselves warm just outside the blind.
Didn't help much, but there were so many geese flying we didn't have time to think about the cold. All in all it was great day! I love to be out in days that most sane people would rather stay indoors for!
