The gloves are still on
It’s been a cold and windy winter in Toronto and lots of snow too. Last year we had a record amount of snow. This year it may have been less but it has come in big dumps. So at the end of February we are still experiencing -20C and still wearing the gloves - every day. And I am getting tired of being all bundled up!
In fact this year I found the Saturday morning trip to the market sooooooo cold that we went shopping at Mountain Equipment Co-op (a great place to get gear) on our way home a few weeks ago for face protection. I bought Bolle ski goggles for my eyes and a neoprene face mask with a cut-out for breathing. They actually work quite well to keep me warm.
Now I just need to find something to keep feet warmer so that I don’t come home with my childhood frostbite reactivated (as has happened several times this year).
While the arctic weather gave me a chance to test our winter gear, including my new Woolybutts, I am so looking forward to spring.
How many days did that groundhog say we had to wait?
