Did any brave souls get out there and skydive during this last cold wave
that swept a large part of the country?  I DIDN'T!  I remember very
clearly when I made one when it was about 30 deg F on the ground --
which puts it at near 6 deg F at 8000' (3 deg drop per thou, isn't it?).
I recall feeling the air rip right through my chest -- I thought my
hands, nose, and ears were going to break off on openning.  They didn't.

You tough folks that jump in the winter up North -- you can have it!
I'm gonna wait for some nice warm weather.
