Screaming Barfies

I received a very informative comment from Transrockies Event Director Aaron McConnell. Apparently, the "sensation" I experienced this morning (see previous post) is commonly referred to by some folks as the "Screaming Barfies." I googled screaming barfies and came up with this definition from Urban Dictionairy:

A term used mostly by ice climbers to describe the feeling of having your hands go numb only to come back to feeling with extreme pain. The terminology coming from when your hands are coming back to feeling you want to scream and barf at the same time.

Scream and barf at the same time. Yep, that's about how I felt this morning. Thanks for the help, Aaron! It's good to know I'm not alone. I also shared my experience with Koach. Here's what he had to say:

"...ashamed of myself for not telling you ...and other men, of that frost-bite issue. It's a VERY common problem and up north they know it. Down here it's usually not a problem, but it CAN BE."

I wonder what else Koach is not telling me.

The low tonight is 24 degrees, double this morning's temperature. I brought Anita Beth home her new Brooks Glycerines tonight. You can bet we're going to hit the pavement in the morning.
