Fingers inside gloves
Jan. 17th, 2013 09:29 amWhen I drive, there's a convenient thermometer that automatically comes on when I start, but when I cycle, there isn't. Since I don't normally actually need to know the temperature, this is fine, except that when I don't know, I tend to assume the temperature is somewhere in a "normal" range, and if I feel really cold, assume I'm just sensitive today, not that the temperature was below -5.
This winter I felt very proud of myself for responsibly having gloves to wear in cold weather. However, today my fingers were going numb with cold inside the gloves, and I started to think that maybe I needed more gloves.
I also need something to cover my ears and face. I don't normally wear scarves because normally I just find them constricting and annoying, but presumably they are the answer to cold faces? Or am I better with a balaclava or face mask or something? I have a scarf, but it's 12 ft long so it's really inconvenient to ever actually use, I think I need a more manageable one.
