AUGUSTA, Ga. -- So I hear it's a little nippy back in Iowa.
Well, fear not, Midwesterners. I'm not gloating about the near-perfect 70-some-degree day here Wednesday. That's because it's supposed to be unseasonably cool here for all four days of the Masters, which starts Thursday.
The high forecasted temperature of the tourney, according to the Masters people, is 68 degrees today. Friday's high is predicted to be 63, Saturday's 58, Sunday's 63. And get this: there will be near-freezing temperatures around sunrise Saturday, and a frost likely late Saturday night.
This is because of a large high pressure system over southern Canada that has pushed cold Arctic air into Georgia. Which is ridiculous.
Even more absurd is the fact the air conditioning is running in the media center.
If you'll excuse me, I have to run. Gotta get to a department store before closing time for some warm-weather attire. Anyone know where you can get a good bowl of hot soup in Augusta?
