Yeah I don't mind the snow, but I'm sick of the cold temperature.
Have been near the end of that with nearing the equinox.
Also remember, Daylight Savings Time starts this Sunday.

People who golf in April should be caught in some sort of net and dragged across the countryside by horses.
If we could just have a war between the Golfists and the Cyclists and they wiped each other out that'd be great.
Preferably on horseback.

Anyone with any leads for an affordable flame thrower?
What are the bylaws regarding dousing snow piles in gasoline and lighting them on fire to melt them?

That seems like an enormously unfair advantage for the cyclists... also how does golfing at any particular time of year offend you more than at other times of year?

You've got neighbours right? They presumably have vehicles?
Also...matches are cheap.

This has been a tough winter for TPC Fox Hollow, didn't even get to open in December/January/February at all.

Is it? I thought those typically came in warmer with larger amounts.
Friday's snow looks to be pretty cold and there isn't much forecasted in the mountains so this is still an arctic cycle we're stuck in.

Who says I'm offended?
I just think the herds are in need of culling.
Whittle down some undesirable demographics?
Cyclists vs Golfists? It'll be like that scene from Gangs of New York.

But what about the golfing cyclists? Which side will they be on?

Looks like the Weather Network was quite a ways off and the lows all week have been around -20.

Yeah exactly. The snow this month is fairly normal (though we've been fairly spoiled in that regard the previous couple winters), but usually those big March dumps come with -5 or higher temps. These -30 windchill temps this late in the season feels quite abnormal. But sounds like we're almost out of it...fingers crossed.

I think it's great, I love when you jump from -30 to +10 and up over the course of a few weeks. Makes the warm temps feel more surreal and amazing than when we go from a month of -5 to +5 to end off February/March winter.

Do you also enjoy going from getting kicked in the nuts to not getting kicked in the nuts, ‘cause it makes not getting kicked in the nuts feel more surreal and amazing?

Hypothetically speaking, if I was getting kicked in the nuts I imagine that I’d enjoy going from that to not getting kicked in the nuts just because getting kicked in the nuts sucks.
