Our last showcase this weekend, 43F and 30MPH wind gusts. Glad fall is over. There is another tourney up this way in Nov, that is just insane and glad we're not in it.
How cold is too cold?

If it's above 40, here in Central PA, we're trying to get outside for practice.
We had a brutal wet '18 Spring, and we played a few games early that we would have liked to have been a little warmer, but we were going to get them in. One day, I think week 2, a pretty good snow fell for the majority of the game. Some parents got some pretty great pics that day. It was one of those days where it didn't feel that awful cold, but the snow just kept falling.

DD played in Peoria IL yesterday. She said at game time it was about 38 degrees. I spent the morning in a treestand where it was 23 in the morning so she doesn't get any sympathy. She has one more outdoor tournament in two weeks before things move inside. Generally I think 40-50 degrees is totally acceptable.
I know what you mean about juggling the kids and trying to keep things even lol. I do tend to spend more time with my DD than the other 2 kids just because everything she does is so far away and time consuming. My middle kid is not a ball player, but does play football. My little one is only 5 but getting ready to take some learn to play hockey stuff. I do try and make it a point keep them active in some sport and to do stuff one on one with the other two when I have chance.

Just curious from those playing in the 30's and 40's
Do you use your normal bat or do you have a cold weather bat?

I know warranty is supposed to be done but DD uses same bat.
My DD went through about 10 of these over two days last weekend in New England. She had 4-5 of them in her back pocket all the time They are dirt cheap and effective.
