Today we enjoyed some psychologically warming sunshine, and I noticed a reading of 12F on our thermometer earlier this afternoon. Strange how 12F seems so warm.
Yesterday, after I got home from work, we decided to test our outerwear on a 2-mile walk in 3F. We only got a couple inches of snow, so drifts weren't a factor.
So we bundled up, and I'm happy to report the gear did its job.
For reference, I wore:
- leggings under jeans under windpants
- turtleneck under hoodie under gore-tex parka
- balaclava under ski hat under goggles under hood
- wool glove liners under insulated trigger mitts
- two pairs of socks under water resistant hikers.
All performed wonderfully, and I remained quite cozy toasty, although I wouldn't want to make a habit of this.

All that clothing and you still look stylish, sleek and slim. Good job!
You look like art. I am in the airport wondering why….
Wow. Now I can't imagine how one plays football in this type of clothing and cold. Crazy. But you look good!!
I feel bad saying it's cold here.
Wow, at least you were prepared. I would never want to live anywhere that got that cold. I'm a Florida girl, through and through.
