Dont lose your fingers
 

So right now the wind chill is forecast to be -15°. At a -19° wind chill frost bite can occur on exposed flesh in about 30 minutes. Lets say the forecasts are wrong and its actually colder than what they are saying, which is entirely possible if snow is on the ground, and we get a wind chill of -19 or below. In this scenario how many drunk idiots are going to lose their fingers because they lose a glove? I just hope it isn't any of you guys!

My dick will be alright, rite?

As long as you soak in it Frankie’s mom

I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A THREAD ABOUT PATRIOTS FANS FINGERING THEIR OWN ASS

It's definitely possible. I honestly think it would be more responsible for the NFL to reschedule the game to a warmer day. There is going to be a possibility of death from hypothermia & even a potential of frost bit limbs.

Just play the game Monday on MLK day. It's going to be 34 degrees, most people have the day off anyway.

There's gonna be a run on hand warmers in KC this weekend. I'd be guying a couple dozen of those things.

Direkshun’s mom might let you soak it in cider

I hope Tyreek is throwing two up multiple times.

This is a critical PSA! It's especially important that if you do lose fingers you make sure not to lose the middle ones. Else how would you be able to wave goodbye to Tom and Bill they lose?

This is a really good idea.

Don't wear boxers and let your peepee touch your zipper. Trust me.

They cancelled a game in Mexico because the field was shit. Yet they let them play on that Oakland A's baseball field. There is probably way more risk of injury for players & safety of fans, compared to the Mexico game/field.

I can see the logic in moving the game, but I just don't see any chance it happens. The NFL has numerous examples of games that were colder than this.

This is also true.

-1 temp -23 wind chill. NFC championship 2007

Its time for a dome! We will be having a shit ton of home games in late December and January. Plus we will get a Super Bowl and we'd have a really good shot at being the first team to play at home in the SB.

That's not really why they didn't play the game in Mexico.

Wind chill is for pussies. Real Arctic doesn’t need how a temperature “feels”. They go by the real temperature. 0ish is chilly but doable:

Dress in layers
Base layer should be polypropylene
Couple pairs of socks, preferably smart wool. Wool is best for socks
If you use cotton (not recommended), dont use it next to your skin
Stay dry. Likely not a biggie but if someone spills beer or coke down your shirt, get inside and dry off ASAP.

I wish I was going to be there.

Each one of Farve's final passes for each team he played for was picked off. Fitting.

its amazing to me that players will still go sleeveless in those conditions. Just downright stupid.

wasnt' that the game where the NYGiants coach's face turned so red that it looked like he was going to lose his nose?

What then? The NFL just wanted the game in LA?

These things work like a champ for keeping your hands warm. I used them all the time when I was sitting in a pre-dawn goose blind when It was -20 or colder. They also make them for inside your boots. I know Walmart sells them, as well as a lot of sporting goods stores. As far as feet, you can't go wrong with artic Mucks, they work great even in the coldest weather.

Stay warm, yell loud!

Honestly, the Chiefs should give away 2 to each person at the stadium...just give them out. Nobody wants to see people lose their fingers...

Any other good advice? I don't do well in the cold AT ALL. But I'll be DAMN if I miss this.

That would be nice. :D They probably don't want to deal with the clean up.

Always invest in a good hat, what do you plan to bring?

Guys,

Take this man's advice. I have a pair of Baffin boots that are rated to -70 on Bwana's suggestion.

I can wear them for hours in single digits WITHOUT SOCKS.

This dude knows his shit.

Yeah those things are absolutely incredible in the cold.

Yes they are.

Unfortunately, it looks like I need to replace the Grandoe gloves you recommended. Can't find them.

Ugh.

On a side note, something like these work great as an under layer.

I bought thermal underwear so I'll wear that and tons and tons of layers. Then I bought Alpaca survival socks, a balaclava , winter boots....and I'll wear a huge nike down bubble jacket under some of my layers. Then I'll put a stocking hat on over my balaclava and then I'll put a hood over that. Then my final step will be to put on a hoodie over all over it and pop a bunch of hot hands to put in the front pocket (so I can keep my gloved hands in there and they'll stay warm)
Oh and bourbon too!

I still don't know if that's enough, but that's the plan.

Well that blows, that's a great product as well. That's the thing about cold weather, if guy is properly dressed, it's no big deal, if not, it can make for a very long day.

LMAO I think you're good buddy.

HAHAHA

He’ll NO to rescheduling. This Sunday would be a crisp autumn day in Lambeau.

Seeing low of 15 now Sunday. Sounds plenty warm.

Plus I bought plane tickets to go so.....no rescheduling.

I may start a small fire under my seat

It's probably close enough to your body that you'll be fine. ROFL

Looks to be 18 and feel 10 at game start. https://www.wunderground.com/hourly/...ate/2019-01-20

As far as hats, I have a couple of Stormy Kromer's that kick ass. They have the fold down ear flaps and are good to well below zero. I wear them all the time when I'm out plowing snow with my ATV. https://www.stormykromer.com/the-sta...-cap-charcoal/

Yep. I've sat through several single digit and below zero games and was perfectly fine thanks to your suggestions.

That should be tasty and the calories it provides will help your body generate heat, but why are you putting it in your hat? :)

Anyone have a good recommendation for those Alpaca socks? Should I wear more pairs of socks with them?

What’s a good brand for those balaclava masks?

Ergodyne N-Ferno 6823 Winter Balaclava Ski Mask, Wind-Resistant Face Mask, Thermal Fleece, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0091CC1OG..._ed1pCbBP5A5AP

Hello I'm and idiot!

I wouldn't have known how to spell "balaclava" either. (Until I looked it up after your post)

**** rescheduling the game and **** playing in a Dome.

What's really sad is.... I actually looked it up but somehow managed to confuse myself. It's not hard to do these days.ROFL

I hadn’t heard of this until yesterday. Was trying to buy a ski mask, picturing old bank-robber style but it’s all balaclavas these days.

Take a chick with ya to the game, use her finger warmer

It's better than sweating at that temperature.

Glad to hear the initially extreme weather reports, as always, will not come to fruition.

Off topic, but thought I’d ask if there are any of you local Kansas citians that know of shopping malls within the city that sell Chiefs attire.

Im looking for Chiefs winter jackets, tukes, scarfs, etc

I appreciate the help. Thank you. Go Chiefs!!

Try Rally House/Kansas Sampler.

I know there used to be a RH in Independence.

There is a KS on Quivira across from Oak Park Mall.

Rally House near Independence Center (I-70 and Hwy 291/I-470).

LMAO at people's fingers falling off from the cold.....

I believe so.

Imma hold a raffle to let you folks take turns letting my mouth keep u warm

Perfect!

Independence is where Im actually staying and so its within distance.

Once again, thanks OTWP15 and to you as well Mr. Patteau.

I went to Rally House quite a few times, and they never had anything heavier than a hoodie.

There's a store in the Oak Park Mall called Sportibles. They had a old letterman style jacket.

I went to KC for a game in November one year with a couple of Raider fans (KC was playing Oak obviously) and it was raining and we didnt have rain gear bc we weren't prepared. Anywho, we go to The Walmart by Arrowhead and it was loaded with KC gear and I was buying all kinds of stuff. My Raider friends on the other hand were shit out of luck. after I bought all my stuff, I looked back at all the cashier lines and I saw my friends buying Glad Trash Bags bc it was their only choice. Very loudly I said so most around could hear me, "Oh Look at the Raider fans buying trash bags...how appropriate!" And you know I called them trash ALLLLLLLL DDDAAAAYYYYYY! And we won too of course!
So guess my point of this story is, if the WalMArt is still there, you can find good gear for cheap :D

Frost bite can cause you to lose a finger.

That Walmart is sketchy as hell. *insert "every walmart is sketchy" comment*.

This isn't the Alaskan wilderness. Nobody is losing fingers at a football game.

Are these Alpaca socks really worth the $22 per pair price? I have a few pair of wool socks. Really that much better?

They were advertising "bundle up" on 810 this morning.

That Wal-Mart makes other Wal-Marts look like Neiman ****ing Marcus.

-19° wind chill in KC feels like a -19° wind chill in the Alaskan Wilderness. Some people will be standing in the elements for several hours. At the right temperature you dont have to be exposed for very long to get frost bite. It was more of a joke, but lets not act like its impossible.

Not sure. Mine are arriving today.

Had to look that up, but yeah I agree. That place is full of crack heads and tweakers. They also don't keep it stocked too well.

Ive been deer hunting in some pretty cold weather, but I dont think ive ever been hunting in anything like it will be Sunday. So I know wool socks wont be enough. I have Muck boots that are supposed to keep you comfortable in sub zero temps and wool socks and every single time im comfortable everywhere besides my feet.

These seem pretty damn cool though and honestly are much cheaper than I would have expected.

Friend of mine offered free tickets, lower level. I declined. I'm so soft.

Dont blame you. I told my fiance I wouldn't go to the game for free. I want to go so bad, but no way in hell im sitting in that ****ing wind. Id probably go if it was just cold, but the wind makes it miserable.

I think his point was if your fingers get cold, you can go to parts of the stadium that are warm.

Never ceases to amaze me how many dudes wear just a baseball cap. I saw guys doing this last Saturday. Had a coat and gloves on, sure. But head just had a cap. Normal shoes, no ski pants or anything.

:shake:
