It's not our fault you Canadians are so thankful you can't wait for the real day! ;p

Because bum gloves are so cool, I cut off the fingertips of some old work gloves I found on the side of the road, and now I have my own pair! Now I can use my touch screen possessing devices WITH GLOVES ON!

Which was really annoying. My hands are warm, but I can't answer a phone call!

Get the ones with the flaps that flip over and turn your gloves into mittens. I've had a pair of those for 7 years and while they are due for replacement I maintain that they are the best piece of winter gear that I have ever owned.

Winter... wear? I don't usually need anything remotely warm until it hits about 5 C or lower. And in cases of heavy rain/snow/wind, I've got my leather coat, leather gloves, surplus army boots and some thick jeans. Usually, I'll just be wearing the same thing from 35 C down to 5 C. But that's because I'm built for climates like northern Europe, not northern Georgia.

No, a thousand times no. As for me, I need a hat. I've got bad circulation in my right ear, and already got frost bit in said ear once. Not something I want to repeat.

It snowed last night in vancouver, I tucked my hands into each other's arms sleeves and I was fine. Good trick, seals your sleeves like a tunnel AND warms your hands keeping your whole body warm. But yeah, I think us canadians can all agree that a hat is def. the way to go, without a hat it's like leaving the lid off a warm drink!

Yeah, we got snow last night... Facebook was all atwitter about it. Still going this morning.

I should go buy some winter crap.

You know, if anyone's going to recommend hats it should be this one.

That's about right actually, didn't notice it before but that's pretty much the tai chi neutral posture. Might have to watch ninja turtles some time to recall how splinter fights... it just seems odd that "Ninja" would have internal martial arts.
