W: Great. Why did you miss it? Steve?

M: My parents didn't let me go because I had a fever. I'm still in bed.

W: Too bad you weren't there. We all went together-- Jenny, Jimmy, George and I.

M: It must have been freezing sitting outside, wasn't it?

W: It was. We were all wrapped up in blankets, wool hats, and heavy coats.

M: I hear it started snowing in the middle of the game.

W: It did, lightly at first, then harder. But it didn't stop the game. That was the most exciting moment and it was so funny watching the players slipping in the snow.
