And since your hands get the coldest, "middle of the mitten" was pretty concise.

PS- I don't think it gets as cold in Michigan as it does in Norway-isn't part of that country within the arctic Circle? I like to complain about it though, especially the extended periods of gray. Nothing but gray. For months. After all, I am still a native Floridian!
