For the first time this year...
...I had to wear a jacket while working a high school game.
Game time temp was in the low 60s. Wind chill probably made it feel like high 50s. If I wanted to be subjected to these Artic conditions I'd move to Alaska or Seattle or somewhere. |

Case in point: Sunday the high temperature at beautiful Riverview Playfields in scenic south-west Seattle was a lovely 51.2 degrees, and the wind speed was averaging 7 to 10 mph. Softball was played, strikes were called, outs happened. Life was grand!

I am surmising that Artic is Arctic, which it hasn't been, because we have gotten far more precipitation than usually encountered in the generally dryer arctic. Two weeks ago I literally had all four seasons in about 15 minutes -- fortunately while I was sitting in the car about 45 minutes before game time.

To wear a jacket or not to wear a jacket. Personal preference, kinda like how do you like your steak done? I can't believe how much crap I get if I don't order my steak medium, medium rare or rare. My personal choice is to not have my steak moooooooo at me. Dave

Todays DH is going to have a game time temp in the low 40's. Probably a jacket, sweatshirt, under armor and hand warmers.

I'm with you all. Had my FIRST game all year that i did NOT wear a jacket on Saturday....temp just starting to reach 60's and we went 2 of my 4 games in short sleeves, no jacket....it was 39 degrees for the 9am game so it got the underarmour and jacket treatment....but the 1 and 3 were sweet!!!

My first game was postponed due to rain/snow mix. Typical, as we try to start the HS season in early April. Usually a rash of postponed games / suspended games during the first couple of weeks. I have a game today, tomorrow (the postponed one from Tuesday), and Friday. I expect today's game will be played (high supposed to reach 50, Mark, so I'm at least hopeful for high 40's at game time), but tomorrow's is dicey (70% chance of rain in the forecast, but it may arrive later in the evening...), and Friday's seems hopeless - rain turning to snow. The steak hijack is certainly different from our usual OT stuff. I really, really don't like any steak cooked with the word "well" anywhere. Medium is overcooked as far as I'm concerned. In fact, I lament that you can't get a less than well done hamburger anymore (talking real restaurants, not Micky-D's and the like). Many years ago, I was at a business meal where my colleague told the waitress to just "walk my steak through a warm room." Now that is rare!

Just a tad over rare for me. A couple years ago my partner and I had a barn-burner, 1-0 in 13 innings. Both pitchers now D-1. Afterwards, we retired to Outback. He had a 22 ounce frosty mug. I had a 12 oz. RARE prime rib. I thought he was gonna blow chunks b4 I was done.
By the way, out my local Outback I can still get a rare hamburger. Maybe it's because ya can, maybe it's because the manager is a close friend. Anyway, ya might try it...
