skymama 37 #51 December 18, 2003 QuoteShout me a whine when you have a wind chill factor of -57 degrees. This coming from someone who is wintering in FL this year. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunnydee123 0 #53 December 18, 2003 Well let's see...my first tandem - it was 54 degrees on the ground with a 12 mph wind (pretty damn cold the first time I was ever standing in the door). A few weekends ago we got our first cold front and some high winds. It was in the 50's on the ground and DAMN cold up top - so cold that after first jump I bought a long sleeve shirt from drop shop and put gloves on. Think that is the coldest I've jumped in so far .........I'm not a wimp - I am from New Jersey and know how to "dress properly" for the cold Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...

You didn't know any better then. QuoteIt was in the 50's on the ground and DAMN cold up top - so cold that after first jump I bought a long sleeve shirt from drop shop and put gloves on. Think that is the coldest I've jumped in so far You obviously have not lived in Florida long enough. We have no need to jump in that kind of weather. If it is cold now just give it a little bit or a day and the weather will warm up. Laters, KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!

I feel bad for the poor foreigners who come over in the winter. They get stuck on the ground in cold weather because none of the locals will go up to fill the plane. We just wait another day for it to warm up!
