Freestyle Skiing\nThe word "mogul" comes from the Austrian word "mugel," which means "small hill" or "mound."\n\nFigure Skating\nMen's gold medal favorite Yevgeny Plushenko is the first and only skater in history to successfully land a quad-triple-triple jump combination in competition. \n\nCurling\nCurling is one of four winter Olympic sports contested indoors. The other three are hockey, figure skating, and speed skating.\n\nLuge\nGerman Luge master Georg Hackl will attempt to add to his legend and win a medal in his sixth straight games at Turin in 2006. Hackl is already the only athlete to medal in the same event in five straight games.\n\nNordic Combined \nNordic combined is one of three current Olympic Winter Games events in which the United States has never won a medal. (Biathlon and curling are the others.)\n\nSnowboarding\nAccording to the National Sporting Goods Association, U.S. consumers spent nearly than $270 million on snowboarding equipment in 2004. That's more than hockey and football equipment combined ($225 million).\n\nSkeleton\nAmerican Jennison Heaton won the first skeleton gold medal in 1928, beating his brother John, who took the silver, by one second. A 39-year-old John Heaton would win the silver again in 1948, finishing second to Italy's Nino Bibbia. American Jim Shea, Jr., won the men's gold in the 2002 return of the sport to the Olympics. \n\nIce Hockey\nIce hockey made its Olympic debut at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. The first Winter Olympics didn't take place until 1924.\n\nSpeed Skating\n American Shani Davis narrowly failed in his historic attempt to compete on both the long track and short track speed skating teams at the same Olympics but as the world record holder in the men's 1500 meters he will still be a favorite to medal in the long track events at Turin.\n\nAlpine Skiing\nAmerican skier and Turin gold medal threat Lindsey Kildow was awarded a cow by some local dairy farmers for her World Cup win in Val D'Isere, France in 2005. She had a choice between the cow or an additional $1,200 in prize money. She went with the cow.\n\nBiathlon\nThe first known biathlon competition took place between two Norwegian guard companies in 1767.\n\nBobsled\nIt's been 18 years since the Jamaican bobsled team made its debut at the Olympics. \n\nSki Jumping\nThe oldest man to receive a Winter Olympics medal is 83-year-old Anders Haugen. The Norwegian-American actually received his ski jump bronze medal 50 years after he competed in 1924 when a scoring error was discovered in 1974.\n\nWinter Olympics Through the Years\nThe Shea Family of Lake Placid, New York, is the first to produce three generations of Olympians. Father Jack, 91, was a double-gold medalist in speed skating, son Jim, Sr., was a U.S. ski team member at the 1964 Innsbruck Games, and in 2002 grandson Jim, Jr., won a gold medal in skeleton.\n\nAll-Time Medal Standings\nOnly two countries south of the equator have ever won medals at the Olympic Winter Games—Australia and New Zealand.\n\nWisconsin\nLegends Eric Heiden and Dan Jansen , as well as current stars Chris Witty and Casey FitzRandolph, are from the same U.S. state, Wisconsin.\n\nNorway\nNorway has won more gold medals at the Winter Games than any other country.

RC East is huge. Up north they already have snow on the mountain tops, I'm in central. Right now its nice. 50's just before the sun comes up and low to mid 80s during the day. Still hot down south. High 90s. In the central part we have a mild winter, or so we are told. It snow some but mostly just flurries. In the higher elevations along the border we get a lot more snow and with the wind in the mountains its supposed to suck.

I can say that they should be heading your way soon.  It finally got cold here today and will stay that way.  Lakes and ponds are staring to freeze over.  I saw some geese and a couple large flocks of mallards moving south this evening.  Good hunting.
