Wow, how do you guys do it? You just go around feeling cold and numb? Do you wrap up to the point you can not flex your joints? I use to live in Fishersville, VA when I was in rehab and you basically felt cold all the time no matter what you wore. Here near sea level its a heavy shirt and a gortex jacket with gloves. |

Wow, how do you guys do it? Layers. Little or no cotton. My favorite turtleneck is Polartec with Thermastat. Fleece, thick fleece. Lots of clothing from a ski shop. Get to know Campmor, Woolrich, The North Face, REI, Deluth, Cabela's, LL Bean and get their free catalogs. I have always loved hats and they keep you warm. Mittens, my fingers don't stay warm in gloves. Two pair of socks in shoes 1/2 size too big. It's an acquired skill. But we are having a warm spell... 32F/18F.

We go fishing in the winter Brainerd Jaycees $150,000 Ice Fishing Extravaganza The Extravaganza as a whole again was a major celebration, with probably close to 10,000 anglers braving sub-zero temperatures: The temp at the start of the tournament was about 6-below — about 22-below with the wind chill. And, for the first time, the governor was in attendance — Gov. Mark Dayton manned a line, although he didn’t catch a fish. In all, 724 fish were registered, with the top 150 good for prizes. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_bRkSeZckh8Q/TTsuxJCLTNI/AAAAAAAAHKI/aIBNLhh4xjQ/s640/P1220005.JPG Jesus walked on water Minnesotans drive their trucks Edited by poorman1, Jan 23 2011, 08:17 AM.

Waited until it warmed up to -8 to go snowmobiling yesterday. Not sure what the with chill is at 50mph plus, but you sure find out where the leaks in your helmet & clothes are! After a few "technical adjustments" the following 100 mile+ ride was awesome! The sky seems "bluer" at 0 degrees & below.

Its gonna be 65 here today. Was the same yesterday. I got sunburned on my face painting the tops of the spent bins at work yesterday. I hate the sun. The upside it the Mad river is full of Steelhead right now. And the banks are lined with fishermen and women. Full. I think one guy brought his brass knuckles. LOL |
