Cold, Cold, Cold

But I was fairly warm. The balaclava keeps the head pretty toasty, especially with the hood up on the ski jacket.

I also ditched my regular winter gloves for a combo of my 'waterproof' gloves and some gaudy thick fleece gloves that I've had for a while. These are my Bruins gloves that I got for Christmas a few years back. The thumb, index and pinky are each bright yellow, and the middle and ring fingers are black. They are very bright and don't really go with my red, graphite and white jacket.

But this isn't a fashion show and tomorrow the effective temperature will be -11 when I leave the house. I may add thicker socks as even with the mid-weight ones I was feeling the cold a bit this afternoon.

The only other area that was at all cold was my nose, which I have to keep out of the balaclava so that the lenses of my glasses don't fog up. I'll be looking for cheap ski goggles this spring...
