A nice sunset was the reward for an otherwise miserable weather day. Temperatures during my soccer game this morning hovered in the mid-30s.  Winds were so strong that a ball placed on the field for a direct kick would often start rolling away.  When it began to rain/snow it was more horizontal than vertical.  These conditions led to great difficulty in scoring and we had to settle for a 0-0 tie.  I had the best shot on goal for my team, a strong volley from a lofted ball, no mean feat given the wind. Unfortunately, it found the keeper rather than the back of the net.
