Thermometer dropping!

The thermometer is dropping as we speak. It is currently -20C and headed colder. Time for a furry hat and some peach schnapps.

Winter camo

The dogs that were so conspicuous in the warm green weather are harder to spot now. -18 C this morning. I am having trouble keeping my hands warm when out dog walking. My left hand (the pinkie and ring finger) has scar tissue that is very susceptible to cold weather. It get very cold (almost frozen) even with an acrylic glove stuffed inside my heavy thinsulate gloves. Anyone have any good suggestions to cure this? Short of staying inside!

Springtime in the Rockies, -22 C

Twenty two below is not that bad unless there is a breeze. Then you have to cover up your nose and mouth which makes your glasses fog up so you can't see and you trip over frozen chunks of old snow. It was so cold walking into a stiff north wind yesterday that I had to keep turning around and walking backwards because my eyebrows hurt!
I know I'm a wuss. I can remember -40C when I lived outside of Edmonton almost 30 years ago (urk). I try not to think about that.
