    I just bought a turtle fur. I've tried fleece neckwarmers in the past, and they froze on me.

    I've run in negative degrees and trained for a half marathon in single digits. This was unfortunate since the race day was 80 degrees but this couldn't be helped. All that aside, I use a smartwool neck gator that stays in place and keeps my chest from hurting from the cold. My nose always runs when I do no matter the temperature so I have no advice in that regard.

    Depending on how cold it is, try lighter synthetic layers and just add more layers instead of wearing bulky clothing. That way you don't overheat (or freeze from soaked cotton). They make flatter ice "cleats" (like yak traks) for shoes for runners when it is icy out. No excuses now, darn it!

    The only other thing is it is hard to get warmed up so if you have 5'x5' space in your house/garage etc to do some jumping jacks, burpees, mountain climbers and other things just to get you warm and your heart pumping before you leave the house, that helps immensely.

    I call it the farmer's blow but snot rocket sounds more futuristic. My sleeves are perfectly clean at all times. LOL

    Snot Rocket should be added to Webster's any day now.

    It's already in Urban Dictionary and Wiktionary. Thank God for the Internet to keep us up in the times.

    I love that you took the trouble to google it! Not had to resort to that myself always have a good blow before leaving the house
