brrrr... first cold commute of the season. It was about 27F when I left home. I found the warmest wool coat (fashionable, too) a the Goodwill and I've been wearing that the last couple weeks. It was super warm, and my torso was just fine. Toes were good and hands were fine except for my thumbs which froze. I'm in the process of making myself some mittens and will double-reinforce the thumbs with extra wool insulation. For some reason my thumbs get so blasted cold while the rest of my digits remain toasty. Go figure.

The weather here is yuk this week, low 30's to 40's with rain every time I look out the window. I really don't enjoy this kind of weather. I wish it would just go ahead and get cold. Snow is atleast rideable given it's not up to my hubs. I hear you all on daylight savings (wasting?), I am always charging up my headlight these days. I still hate driving to the gym when I can get m workout just by riding to work/school.
