  2. It's not bad with the right gear: two pairs of socks; two pairs of gloves, two hats, and three or four layers everywhere else. The only problem is it takes a long time to get dressed.

  3. I see you are describing what you wear indoors ~ what do you put on for going outside?

    It's minus 4 where I am ~ and the sun is shining! Luckily, no wind, or we would really be in trouble here on the edge of the prairie.

  4. Hi Mary. I think you are only half joking about the clothing. But you are on the cold side of the Divide. I saw your post about making beans, where you said if the power goes out, finish them on a wood stove. If my power goes out, I'm going to Arizona. My heat is all electric.
