Staying Warm

You know I've long since thought that once it's past -20 or so out it all kids feels the same. Frackin' cold!!! But I'd also rather the cold than dumps of snow! At least the cold you can bundle up for. I hate having to shovel and scrape my car off when we get lots of snow. Not to mention how it makes the roads that much more treacherous. So not a fan! And I have winter bundling down to a science!!

See picture below for an idea of how silly (and warm!) I look in the following: two pairs of socks, thinsulated winter boots that come up almost to my knees, leggings, pants, a tank top, t-shirt, sweater (with hood up), ear muffs, leather gloves (my first pair in my whole life that I remember actually fitting my tiny elfish hands!), only one scarf today pulled up over my mouth and nose (yesterday it was two, so I guess there must be a slight difference between -35 and -25 after all!), and a heavy down-filled winter jacket that comes down past most of my thighs and a big fur-lined up. The coldest part of me is my knees. Not sure what more I could do in that area but it's not cold enough to worry about really. It may take awhile to bundle up like that, and I'm pretty much only ever walking from a building to my car, but damnit am I warm in even the coldest Canadian temperatures!! I'd happily stay in these temperatures until the end of this winter of it meant no more snow!!! (I may live to regret saying that)
