We have a swap meet here the first weekend of February. Part of it is outdoors.
We have weather then that ranges from a balmy 50F to a bone-chilling 0F with snow and freezing rain, with 40 mph winds thrown in for good measure.
Guess you better not come to that one.

I'm no pansy when it comes to cold weather, I was a paperboy for five years growing up and ran a towing service for something like ten years as a younger adult. (They never seem to call the towtruck when it's nice out...) The day of the swap meet was about 35 degrees when I got there and might have made it up over 40 before I left, but it was windy. I wasn't dressed for it and it was just plain raw! I should have guessed it, but I overestimated my hardiness, (or underestimated my foolhardiness
) Started out with a sore throat to boot, and now I'm paying for it.
Oh well, good excuse to call in sick tomorrow and spend the day getting the week's homework done. (I gotta get the decks cleared for next Saturday so I can take the wife up north on a leaf tour, farmers' markets, craft sales,etc. Paybacks for using half a Saturday to do something just for me.)
