Dread, de last time I do dat was durin de major snow storm in 96, was in Atlanta at de time, mehself and plenty odder Morehouse fellas (none of them post though), was fun, but we had some of the same experiences as you.

Here in NY in the pier 40 league (w/Strip, FF, and odders), played in de winter league a few times (in de cold but minus snow), can be a killer, once yuh warm and stretch well in general could be ok, but culd not agree w/yuh more, air is really thin during de winter making breathing a challenge

[dinho]

i save in snow a few times...

some men was asking what is frozen pitch last week? Well it like diving on concrete, no lie.. Yuh running and yuh pegs only going klak klaks on de field.

After 1 or 2 throw-frame i say fork dat, water more than flour yes, is only foot save after that.. A take some good goal in de snow but dey wasn't paying me neither going in de goal so dey couldnt complain.

[Andre]

i was playing small goal on a basketball court outside chicago once and snow start.

we went inside. mih head start feeling giddy and warm. i was coming from miami at the time. that trip was d first time i see snow.

[Mango Chow!]

Allyuh men is a SETTA ball pyong oui!! NOT FRIKKIN' ME!!

[Peong]

Frozen pitch is real tief head.
Yuh pegs not diggin into the soil so when iz time to stop yuh goin skatin for a little bit.
And doh play yuh fallin down, like Omar say, is like rough concrete.

[Texastrini]

i ain't play in snow cos it jus doh snow that often in Austin but it does still get cold.  Ah play ah few times at night on Clark field on UT campus when it was 3 or 4C and windy.  That field is only a field in name cos where we was playing regularly was really jus gravel so yuh ain't want to fall.  I start out in a tshirt, hoodie, beanie (hat), shorts, football socks, and a track pants.  After de body warm up ah used to lose the long pants sometimes.  Dread yuh does see steam rising from yuh body and breathinng in that cold air after a hard run is something else.  And of course the ground like concrete.  But all in all once yuh start running yuh doh really think about it.

worse sweat ever .... but is Christmas all over again for the chiropractors afterwards.
it feel like somebody pump up the ball with concrete and not air.
foot wet, socks wet, hypothermia kicking in.
wildness does xxxxxx 100000 times ..... people making rugby tackles
zero footing when it have ice underneath the snow
trying to breathe is like breathing on top of Mt. Everest.


.... but I will still do it all over again.

[Mr Fix-it]

[dinho]

i reach home a time and i find like my whole thigh scratching a kinda a way and when i gone and bathe is fire.. when i check the whole leg scratch up like a tiger attack me or something.

also i get frostbite in my toe once. a 15 min walk back home after game and when my foot start to thaw out i get one excruciating pain in my toe. Had to almost limp home, thing to make a big man cry. And weeks after that once yuh play in the cold and warm down is the same pain coming back again.

[Mose]

Aye, allyuh, is not de air dat thin when it cold. Dat is de feeling of yuh lungs freezing up! Trust me on this one. And I nevah play ball in de snow. Ah have too much respect fuh what de cold could do to yuh. Right now is about -20C outside and it supposed to go to -30 tonight.

[acb]

btw, is there any difference between -20 and -30 except that your engine block might be frozen?

Mose, thanks for the explanation (re-lungs freezing up).

All yuh guh tink ah crazy, but I personally enjoy ah good winter sweat, not on a regular by any means, but will do it once in a while.....

The salt that they spread on roads and sidewalks to thaw ice stops working.
But then, the ice becomes so hard and brittle you don't really slide as much. As a pedestrian anyway.

Oh, and yuh face will freeze in about 2 mins instead of 5.

[najee]

[Deeks]

I have played in all kind of snowy conditions. But the wet snow is the worst. You can't unlace you boots after you play. Your fingers numb and burning.

[saga pinto]

I played one time in rhode island and my head could'nt stop smoking,it was like meh head was on fire.....

[theworm2345]

You poor USA Trinibagonians, its -6 F here (-22 F wind chill) and you must only be used to lows of 60 (or higher?)

.... 60s in SoCal and Fl maybe .... but here in the Northeast, it's -5F outside.

[Jumbie]

never played "football" but did play "american football" in real cold and snow.

official game the coldest was about -4C with the wind and not much snow on the field.

unofficial games - every winter fellas who played against each other in school league used to meet for games. we've played in knee high snow and - 21 C (wind).. full contact tackle. The wuss is when you thaw out and then start seeing boh-boh from hits you got, but due to the cold at the time you eh feel it.
