So, Winter has come upon us once again... I really want to walk/job outside, but i can't keep my nose from running ahead of me!

Any tips on keeping my nose from running away? Stuffing tissue up my nostrils seems like it would do more harm than good lol

    A bit of a play on words. Didn't want to get graphic lol

    My nose runs...I'm constantly sniffling, but it's just clear snot after about 5 min of being outside.

    I always wonder how Northerners or Canadians do it!

    Mine just runs, and I'm at a loss as to anything more than Kleenex. I'm glad for it this time of year, though, because I get bad sinus block (read:headache!) when the humidity plunges. A running nose is a wonderful thing, lol.

    I blow snot rockets and/or wipe it on my gloves. They get washed after every run (I have about 8 pairs).

    Wipe your nose on your hoodie and wash it when you get back home lol
    Maybe drink some coffee or hot cocoa right before to help for the initial start. I donno, I don't do cold weather outside lol

    Not a problem with it and I live above the polar circle, but when it really gets tough (-30 degrees Celsius or lower) I just wear my scarf higher up, just below the eyes. Good exercizing tho the cold, it seems to burn more cals...

    All of these suggestions are so nauseating. If I saw adults constantly wiping their noses on their sleeves, I'd want to puke. lol. Just get one of those pocket packs of tissues and keep a small Ziplock sandwich bag in a hoodie or coat pocket to put the used ones in for when you can't find a trash can.

    Wrap a thin scarf over your nose so you can still breathe but it keeps the cold air off. Use tissues. And don't worry - when it gets really cold you won't have a problem with a runny nose, just a couple of icicles.

    step 1) buy a bag of Hall's mentholyptus lozenges.
    step 2) pop one in your mouth when your nose starts to get runny.
    step 3) repeat step 2) as necessary.
