Cold, wet, my fingers nearly fell off

Cold is one thing. Rain is one thing. Temp was 39 but the "feel" was 29. I had two sets of pants and three shirts but still after an hour my teeth were chattering as we lined up for the parade. Silly us - waiting an hour with no shelter. :( Worst was the flight gloves which when sodden were worthless. My hands were dark red / purple when I took them off at the end. It rained the whole time - 2.5 hours standing/walking in the cold rain.

 

But the best part is when one of the wives told us that while the parade was boring, people started shouting when we showed up. Even though it was only four troopers, we made the parade.

 

The feeling knowing you helped warm the day for all the little kids standing on the sides - priceless!!

I guess I'd better save my moaning and groaning about the weather here in Hawaii...

 

Partly cloudy skies, scattered showers, Northeasternly winds making it a "cold" 75 degress F.

 

The wind chill factor is a killa!

 

T :rolleyes:
