Heard from Bart Hubbuch, mentioned here last week, after he spent Sunday in Green Bay covering the Packers-Giants game. How cold was it, Bart?

"I couldn’t imagine anyone living their life like that," he said, noting that he was wearing thermal underwear at the game. Does anyone in Texas even own thermal underwear? The temperature, in case anyone missed it, was -1 at kick off, almost as cold as the fabled Ice Bowl between the Packers and the Cowboys in 1967.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, Bart says, he had to drive from Chicago to Green Bay and back to make flight connections. That meant 190 miles each way in sub-zero temperature during a snowstorm. "I really don’t want live anywhere where I can die if the car breaks down," he said.

Ah, almost makes me pine for the days of my youth.
