It would be difficult to control glare from overhead lighting, and overall, would throw your stroke off, IMO.

But I'd like to try one out.  LOL!

When does the Republican Party, put in the majority by the Tea Party, plan to honor its commitment to halt the growth of the Federal monolith and bring the budget back into balance"?

Before the smoking Nazis got their way, I used to walk the elderly outside so they could smoke. That is one of the few luxuries they had left, until self-righteous arseholes butted into personal lives.

One year, I bought a couple case of NA beer on St. Patrick's Day and put it in green plastic cups. It was a hit! Nothing like a beer and cig for those old folks!

How can the local/regional weather tell me the current temperature is 23 degrees fahrenheit but claim it feels like 1 degree?

btw ....there is no wind.   :shrug:

It's also mostly clear, which means that you have no cloud "blanket" to hold heat down, and it all goes up.

Well, I was trying to determine if they mean the wind chill....and that maybe the term was not in vogue anymore.

btw....it's freaking -2 "feels like" degrees outside!!!   LOL!!!

That is Accuweather's little proprietary "RealFeel" temperature, which purportedly factors in air temperature, humidity, wind and solar radiation (which the official observations don't measure so Accuweather must be calculating it). Of course, it's proprietary and a trade secret so nobody knows how effective it actually is. I suspect what's causing that number is that it's a clear night.

I can say this much: I have serious issues with both wind chill and "feels like" temperature because it varies so much depending on which direction you're facing. Heading into the low sun with the wind at your back, it will feel much warmer than facing the opposite direction.
