Tennis in The Snow...

[stotty]

It's -5 centigrade over here right now, and snowing. I coach in all weathers and there is always a hardcore who will turn out in anything. The cameraman is 10 years old and the iPhone will only film for 20 seconds in these temperatures before the battery gives up.

Anyway, it was fun.

Can't wait for the second video to percolate and be ready. The first one is great.

That's a great scene stotty.
It's usually the opposite here in Florida. You can cook an egg on the court and people passing out left and right due to dehydration and heat related illnesses.
Not a fan of the cold, the heat is where I thrive. Props to you stotty for braving the cold and giving those students a great thrill. Students first. Sign of a good coach.

-28 C tonight here in Sweden. The equivalent of 18.4 under zero Fahrenheit. Walked the dog four times today in -15 C (5 F). No tennis. It's going to be a three dog night.

Wow, that's cold! Dangerously cold. You wouldn't want to stay out there too long in that.

I went to Maine, where my mother lives, some years ago and one day it dropped as low as - 20c when we were shopping at Bar Harbor. It gave me a terrible headache...like the one when you get when you eat an ice-cream too quick and it shoots to your head. I had never experienced that sort of cold before.

Good thing you didn't go a little farther downeast to Eastport. See, on the Atlantic side of Nova Scotia the Gulf Current sweeps in. But melted iceberg in the form of the Labrador Current curls around and up the Bay of Fundy. And the place where the two streams cross is farther out on the Grand Banks where the fishing used to be so good but the fishing boats would get confused because of all the fog.

"Half-science is a depot such as has never been known before. A despot that has its own priests and slaves, a despot before whom everybody prostrates himself with love and superstitious dread, such as has been quite inconceivable till now, before whom science itself trembles and surrenders in a shameful way."

Snowing heavily again here today. The temperature is -5C. One of my neighbours has a couple of huskies who spend the majority of the time living outside as they don't take kindly to central heating. This morning his dogs were pulling small children along in their little sledges for fun. For the first time those huskies looked truly alive...they loved it. They are strong, too, and can somehow get a grip with their paws to push off and get a momentum going. Needless to say, the children absolutely love being driven by dogs.

That must have been great to see! Any video of it?
