Re: surviving cold weather ->to

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I live in central Minnesota and grew up in northern Minnesota. I have an

extremely hard time tolerating the cold weather.It seems like no matter what

type of glove or mitten I try, my hands get painfully cold unless it is at least

40 degrees outside. I have snowmobile boots that have thinsulate liners,they are

actually warmer to me if I wear them without socks for some reason? I try to

avoid being outside for any longer than it takes me to do chores, (I have horses

and a steer I need to hay every morning) Don't get me wrong,I love taking care

of my critters.

I have to get my son on the school bus at 6:40 in the morning, so I check the

temp outside, that determines whether we stand outside with a blanket or not!

I hate to admit it but I don't play outside with my kids in the snow, I usually

have them go outside with my hubby, or I'll watch out the window and have the

dogs outside wth them.

Some day in my lifetime I hope to move to a warmer part of the country, or just

become a snowbird and vacation down south!

What part of the country do you live, and how do you tolerate the cold?
