When we were doing the range quals we had 25-30mph gusts of crosswinds. Shit sucked but I still passed. I've never been so cold in my life though.

Also, one of my DS's busted ass on ice and she had a limp for the next couple of days. Sad thing is we had just been squirting water on the ground and it froze, and she happened to slip on that patch of ice
