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.<br /><br />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 <i>inside</i> the gloves, and I started to think that maybe I needed <i>more</i> gloves.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jack&ditemid=822894" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://jack.dreamwidth.org/822894.html cycling cold life public 5
