Weather
After looking up the weather for the home work assignment i came across some neat-o facts about temperature rise and fall in the great plains region. In 15 minutes the temperature dropped 47 degrees Fahrenheit and in 2 minutes the temperature rose 49 degrees Fahrenheit, both of these events occurred in South Dakota!

That's really interesting. If that's normal for the area then it definitely makes sense that the boys froze. they could have very well been prepared for the weather and then within just a few minutes the temp could have dropped significantly, leaving the boys with nothing to do but continue on.
I was very shocked to hear this. I didn't know temperature could rise and drop so quickly. Such a thing may have caused difficulties within the school.

This has some interesting facts: "For the United States, the extremes are 134 °F (56.7 °C) in Death Valley, California and −80.0 °F (−62.2 °C) recorded in Prospect Creek, Alaska."
