weegegirl 2 #3 October 17, 2002 I live in flat and cold Michigan. Snow won't stop me. As long as the plane will fly, there are hop and pops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christoofar 0 #4 October 17, 2002 In TX it gets cold, but we jump anyway. Just wear two pairs of underwear, longjohns, and that winter RW suit and a fullface and you're fine. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Slowfaller 0 #5 October 17, 2002 Most of my jumps are between October and May. My last jump was June 8th but I'm starting again in November. Why the fuck did I waste all that money and buy a car.PS I'm out of Chicago so it does get cold hereChris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygod7777 0 #6 October 17, 2002 well, i will jump occasoinally, or when i get an itch, but i'll be going south for about 4 weeks all together this winter(not all at one time). the thing about cold is, i HATE wearing shoes, and when it's cold i have to put them on. why can't it always be warmso kevin, you going to make it out this weekend??? later blue sky's and long swoops kelly "hook low, flare late...........dirt, tumble, dirt..........ouch" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weid14 0 #7 October 17, 2002 ok, define cold, cause some people would think that 50F is cold (Floridians, for example). Me, I think aound 20F is starting to get there. I suppose if I lived where it was flat in the winter, I'd hope for more global warming and jump when I could Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshi 0 #8 October 17, 2002 yeah I think so on sat. I have yet to take my "D" test and I forgot to take it last weekend.. so I should be out there at least part of sat. you? -yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #10 October 17, 2002 If you've got the right gear it's actually kinda fun. Arctic drylete tights, this cool gumby fleece thing for guys that wear chest waders, a polypro turtleneck and a windproof Balaclava. Polypro glove liners. Oh, and neoprene socks. Dude! The neoprene socks are the bomb! At 14K+ it's usually below zero at exit but the air is so clear! I can't wait until the hills are green again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wlie 0 #12 October 17, 2002 Probably one of he most exciting jumps ever made was during a cold winter with snow brewing at altitude. Kind of like driving at night on when it's snowing, except you see the ground coming up.My other ride is the relative wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygod7777 0 #13 October 17, 2002 below 75 is cold for you, damn, that's almost perfect jumping weater. it's just a little low, i would say 80 is perfect, but like 70 is good too. well, i guess if i lived in texas i would be the same way. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallinWoman 1 #17 October 17, 2002 I made like 40 jumps last winter in the freezing cold...I don't care how cold it is....like others have said...if the plane is flying, I'm in for a hop and pop!!! But...you do have to give me at least a 15 minute call...those glove liners take forever to put on.....Anne ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #18 October 18, 2002 There is a limit for me.. sitting in the unheated plane with an open door the entire ride up when there is snow on the ground is not my idea of a great time. How many of you die hards would jump if there was no door on the plane in the winter?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nws01 0 #19 October 18, 2002 I remember going to 10,000 in a 182 with no door in the winter in Naples, Florida and I thought that was extreme. Our teeth were chattering and our legs were shaking. Half of us had colds because we did it all the time and never quit. Luckily, we finally got a door on it. I can't imagine doing it up here in the winter. I would be frozen.

Jimbo 0 #20 October 18, 2002 I remember when I graduated AFF, I jumped a lot in the cold. Then the year after that I jumped a lot in the cold, though not quite as much. This year I don't plan on jumping much in the cold at all, it's time to replenish the fundage for next year. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

tigra 0 #22 October 18, 2002 One theory among the "older" jumpers at my dz is that the temperature should be higher than your age! I am nowhere near as diehard as I was when I first started. I am a now cold weather wimp. I don't like wearing gloves thinker than my winter neumans and if my hands hurt when I land then I am done! maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #24 October 18, 2002 I used to jump in the cold, wet, fog, rain, hail etc but now I save my money (and the ache I now get in various injuries ) for better climes. But I do love the light we get on crispy cold clear winter days. One thing though folks, if you are going to jump in the cold, watch your gear, if velcro gets wet and then freezes it can really piss on your parade... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
