Layering up like an Onion


Around late November temperatures dramatically started to drop and since then I've heard people mention casually these phrases in passing, "your snot will freeze", "your eyelashes will stick to your face" and "do you have a proper winter jacket?"

I learned a new symbol on my phone's weather app this week: 


(yep...freezing rain)


First week into December and the temperature was suspiciously mild. I think the lowest it got was about -2 this week. Still the key that everyone says to staying warm is layering up like an onion. Luckily I've had practice with this over the years.


 My daily routine so far in all its monochromatic glory:


(Beanie, snowboarding neck thing, insulated gloves)

 (Industrial boots, Jeans, Snowboarding Hoodie)

(Socks, Thermal Leggings, Scarf)

(Coat, T-shirt, Sweater)

-2 is considered a warm day nowadays.

  1. That snowboarding neck thing is a 'NEck sock' ! My mate Mitch was married to a lady called Karen (they are sadly now divorced) who used to knit them for him so he could ride his motorcycle and cover his exposed neck just below the helmet. Amazing how many layers of close you have to put on and then take off again !! Hope its worth it
