An outbreak of the runs...Jan. 29-Feb. 4

I was amazed that how sweaty my hair got in 37 degree temperature. You'd think that would be too cold to sweat. Go figure.

You're right -- I remember one difficult uphill switchback hike my DH and I did in the North Georgia mountains a couple of years ago. There were several inches of snow on the ground, and it was chilly. We were having to rush to beat the park closing time, and I was dying since our pace (and lack of resting) was a bit more than I could handle (no problem for DH). I don't know what the temp was, but no higher than 37. I remember well that I was sweating like a pig -- scalp and body. I think it's the humidity not allowing the sweat to evaporate faster than you generate it. Hiking in the desert southwest, I didn't sense sweating much at all with temperatures in the 80s! Gotta love that dry air.
