Something weird about this. I know it was cold, but it wasn't that cold. I suffered some from frostbite during a Yellowstone winter snowmobile/ski excursion some decades ago but didn't have to have anything amputated. It was below 20 below.

The longer the Falcons, the Giants, and the Vikings have unresolved future QB issues, the higher the probability of a trade down with the Chargers, that an now people are saying that McCarthy has surpassed one of the top three and will now be the third QB taken...if only that kicker for the Cardinals hadn't missed that FG we'd be guaranteed a trade down right now..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

The other would be open to a trade up - possibly
Prefer trading back to Falcons at 8 over the Vikings at 11
EDIT: Russini reporting that Cousins will hit free agency and start talking to the Falcons. One option of trading down for the Chargers just left the building. Vikings or nobody at this point

In the late '80s my older sis was the district ranger at Old Faithful in Yellowstone. I lived in Helena, MT. I used to visit my sis and bro in law on weekends in the winter and ski the backcountry geyser basin. I would get to and fro Old Faithful using a snowmobile they would leave for me in West Yellowstone. One Sunday I left their house too late. It was after midnight and I had to snowmobile 30 miles to my car in West in -20 or -30 temps. It took me hours because there were herds of bison on the road and I had to weave my way through them slowly. I had on good cold weather gear, including some really thick insulated Patagonia gloves. But when I was free from the bison and able to get up some speed, the gloves were no match for the wind chill effect and my thumbs froze. I stopped at a warming hut about halfway and thawed out my hands. I got underway again but by the time I got to my car my thumbs were frozen again. I was able to drive back to Helena, but the next morning my thumbs were still blue and swollen. I had to go to emergency. I had frostbite. It took almost six months for my thumbs to return to normal, but I didn't have to have them amputated.

As a teenager, I worked as a dock man guide in Yellowstone in the late 60’s and ran out of gas late at night, too far to hike back to the cabin. It was June but still freezing at night and snow on the ground in upper elevations where I was. Stayed in the car until dawn and while the cold was really bad, the fear of a grizzly coming to visit kept me awake most of the night.
