Special Bonus Temp Challenge

Leckband Temp Challenge

SPECIAL NOTE:  I hadn't intended to do a Temp Challenge today, especially since I had already posted a Sunday devotional. However, through force of habit, I checked the temperature when I got up this morning. * On the assumption that Norfolk had a fair shot at finishing #1, I decided to follow-through w/the rest of the Leckband's. Sadly, the best Norfolk could muster was #4. My sense of integrity, especially after attending Bible class & church at Trinity Lincoln this morning [I would have felt no less compelled, had I spent this morning at Grace Norfolk.], compelled me to post the results. Here goes.

At 7:50a (CST), all temps in F, ratings follow.

#1, Ventura, IA, -12/-35 wind chill
#2, Eagan, MN, -10/-28
#3, Garrison, IA, -5/-26  **
#4, Norfolk, NE, -9/-21  **
#5, Beatrice, NE, -3/-14 ***
#6, Lincoln, NE, -2/-13  ***

MORE NOTES

* I am usually up earlier than this, since I typically get up when Lois gets up, but this morning I actually didn't wake up until a little after 7:00a. [I didn't have to take Sammy for a walk.]
** I had to employ the LTCDE to determine 3rd place, & Garrison edged Norfolk by the slimmest of margins. [If you don't remember what LTCDE stands for, you'll just have to find it in a previous post.] 
*** I employed the LTCDE to determine 5th place. It wasn't as close as it appears.

Since my crack team of Temp Consultants is back in Norfolk, while I remain in Lincoln, helping w/my grand-daughters, I choose NOT to recognize any BALMIEST LECKBAND again today. However, I am happy to recognize Ventura as #1 w/only the slightest bit of jealousy.
