BRRRRRRRR! That\u2019s what I have to say about your weather last week. I remember the days all too well \u2013 when the temperatures barely reached zero. To make it worse, when it was that cold, I remember it being windy, so the \u201creal feel\u201d temperature was much colder than the actual temperature. Those cold days seemed to last forever, even when it might have been less than a week.<\/p>\n
After almost four years here in Florida, I\u2019ve started to tolerate the \u201ccold\u201d here less and less \u2013 defining cold as anything less than 40 degrees. There aren\u2019t too many days when my golf group decides it\u2019s too cold, but it happens \u2013 all of us know the cold days will pass and much warmer days aren\u2019t far away, so we cancel our tee times and wait a few days for more comfortable weather.<\/p>\n
The cold you just experienced was the variety that produced squeaks when you walked on the snow and forced you to cover as much of your skin as humanly possible.<\/p>\n
Your warmer days will come, but it won\u2019t be for another few months. I\u2019m not sure I will ever want to experience that kind of cold again, so I\u2019ll stay away from Minnesota during winter. If I could, I\u2019d send you all some warmer air.<\/p>\n

Pathetic. Dismal. Disappointing. Embarrassing. Horrible. Those are all ways to describe the last two games of the Minnesota Vikings\u2019 season. Those last two games proved that the star quarterback couldn\u2019t handle the pressure of big games, and fans would have probably been disappointed if the team happened to make it to the biggest game of the year.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s too bad too, because the team seemed to have found ways to make sure they won games 14 times and had one of the best records in recent memory. Until those last two games, the team\u2019s head coach was being touted as the quarterback coach of the year \u2013 and the quarterback was in the running for the most valuable player.<\/p>\n
In the grand scheme of life, whether the Vikings performed well doesn\u2019t matter much at all, but for Viking fans, it feels like another disappointing end to a season that led a lot of us to believe there was some hope for our team.<\/p>\n
Something I\u2019ve said and heard way too many times is, \u201cMaybe next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
