No, this one isn't about sports. Not much, anyway. On a super cold Sunday that happens to be Super Bowl Sunday, Chris and Crystal catch up after two weeks of brutal winter weather.

Topics discussed:

• The overblown snowstorm of January 2026.

• Panic-buying; what do people do with all of that bread, milk, and toilet paper?

• Caring for backyard chickens in freezing temperatures.

• When winter events (e.g., the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge, and Bethany Beach's Fire & Ice Festival) get postponed because the weather is too . . . wintry?

• Chris bought a watercolor of penguins that came with a painting of a clown, and Crystal is not down with the clown.

• John Dagworthy: Who he was, what he did, and why Chris is writing a book about him.

• The first Slower Lower sports report with Bret Elliott (who predicts a Seahawks victory).

• A call to John Barber about noteworthy Super Bowl halftime performances, plus Slower Lower vs. North Carolina weather.

• Recalling the last Slower Lower episode with Tyler Scott and Amber Kairos of Georgetown, Delaware. It's a good one!
