I would if I could, but the weather obviously has a different plan.

Im officially going outside to play in the cold. More cold (or more consistanly cold temps in the mid 20s) means better ice for climbing.
More power to you... I'm staying inside!

So much for you staying inside.

I do appreciate you doing the driveway though

People need to stop driving like complete assholes, ESPECIALLY in the snow... ugh. Nothing happened to me or my car, but I'm afraid something might.

Caused by lack of circulation and or poorly insulated boots and or cotton socks. Get and wear a good set of thick wool Wigwams or Smartwool (id go with mountaineering or expedition weight ) best socks EVER! But they will set you back a lot for a pair of socks. Well with it though.

In short the best thing you can do is not wear cotton socks while outside in the cold. Cotton saps body heat and its only amplified when your feet perspire (they dothis at all times).
