Have been deer hunting in low single digit weather a few years ago.
Have been duck hunting in low teens.

Played in a soccer game in high school and it was I think 13. That was cold.

Three things I have learned from this thread:

1 - I had no clue we had so many motocross participants on the board

2 - We really are pansies in the south when it comes to weather

3 - People do not read thread titles! "you have ever participated in"

You quoting my post makes me realize how typo ridden it was.

There was a deep freeze in Athens on Friday night and I played Georgia Southern in rugby that Saturday morning at 9. There was a layer of ice covering the field. Getting tackled and sliding across that ice and hard as concrete field with those rugby shorts gave me strawberries that didn't heal for weeks. That shower later that day may have been just as painful.

Too many soccer and football games to count.

High school soccer games especially seem to all occur in 35 degree weather in heavy rain.

Played a golf tournament one time and we teed off in the 30s

That may not sound so bad, but combining the wind and the fact that feel with your hands is so crucial in that sport...it was brutal

Hitting a shot thin would sting forEVER

Soccer tournament in Memphis when I was 13. It was about 40 degrees and rained all day. We had a game that got postponed until 8. By then it had dropped to 25, was windy, and the ground was a ice-mud slush. It was fricking miserable.

That sounds so familiar.

It's always fun to kick a ball down field and have it land in a puddle and float instead of bounce. The color of the uniform doesn't matter....by half time, every player is covered in enough mud to make them unrecognizable. Everyone is both cold and hot enough to have a vapor trail.

Good times.

1991 or 1992 Senior Bowl in Mobile.

30 degree temps, wind, rain, and sleet.

Made it till the end of the 3rd quarter, then couldnt take it any longer- 90% of the crowd had already left.
