Re: paging wxKevin: WTF? with this weather update
That's highly debatable. When we got slammed with the two snowstorms 1 1/2 days apart, Accuweather predicted both within a few points of the actual numbers, while weather.com was far off. I always rely on Accuweather for boating weather, and have found it to be fairly "accurate".
We shall see on Sunday!In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Re: paging wxKevin: WTF? with this weather update
I'm credentialed and go to practice. They do their morning practice outside just about every time unless there's thunder. Kubiak likes the players running on grass because he thinks it is easier on injuries than the turf, and there's just so much more room to spread the different units out and to use the equipment. They do their afternoon walk-thrus often indoors--not their real practices.
2-a-days aren't allowed under the new CBA, but even before they were banned, the Texans typically one real practice outdoors, and one walkthru in the bubble. The bubble feels real confined when they have to do a real practice indoors due to weather.

Noooo!!! Its been cold here, we aren't used to watching a game in brutally cold conditions. Hey just out of curiosity what do y'all wear when it's that cold to a game.
Meaning how do you wear a jersey and rep your team while staying warm. I was planning on wearing a hoodie underneath but that won't be warm enough apparently. I have a thick winter coat but then I won't stand out wearing my team colors

You better bring that winter coat! I am telling you, that wind off the harbor is brutal.
I am bringing my wind-proof UA winter jacket (jersey worn underneath), knit cap, flannel lined jeans courtesy of the Eddie Bauer store in the Galleria, long underwear, SmartWool socks and water / wind proof Timberland hiking boots --- and I will still feel cold most of the afternoon.
You also dehydrate faster in colder temperatures than you do in warmer climates. Combine that with drinking and you could be setting yourself up for a fall if you're not drinking enough water to go along with your adult beverages.

Re: paging wxKevin: WTF? with this weather update
This is easier when it is a home game because if you go outside and are too cold, you can just go get more stuff.
I have a closet full of Texans attire, and I rarely get to wear my cold weather stuff. I am actually ok with that but will make an exception for the playoffs. :)
