Still waiting for spring



Hey look, we found a warmer place to wait!

Is it spring yet?

It's March 1st. 

Our back deck

To take the dog for a walk, I wore the following: 

  • light hiking socks
  • heavy winter boots
  • Under Armour compression long johns
  • fleece pants
  • insulated winter pants
  • workout shirt with hood and wrist-warmer cuffs
  • fleece jacket
  • heavy winter coat
  • liner gloves
  • heavy winter gloves
  • hood of my workout shirt
  • fleece ball cap with ear flaps
  • hood of my winter coat
  • fleece scarf, wrapped around my neck twice and pulled up over my nose, secured by the coat


How did I feel?
  • feet - a little cold, should have worn another pair of socks
  • arms and legs - slightly chilly
  • core, neck, back and top of head - fine
  • fingers - ok as long as I flexed them regularly and put my hands in my pockets a fair amount
  • face - from my ball cap to the top of my mouth, really cold. When the wind blew, I felt like I had an ice cream headache.
Am I ready for spring? Umm, yeah?

Front walk. There isn't usually a mountain in our front yard.
