I don’t see the downside, as long as you're the better arm anyway.Exonerate wrote:Snow. You can throw snowballs around, but iceballs hurt like hell.

I've got about 2" of fresh snow on the ground at the moment. Accumulated snow to about 1', but it's packed down so hard that it's basically soft ice.
What's worse than snow and ice? Daytime high air temperatures in the -15 celcius range for the past few weeks. Overnight lows down to -25 or so. Windchills to -30.
24" of snow and warm? Pah....
