It has been (thankfully) a pretty mild start to the winter season in Minnesota. However, I'm so cold this year already. I'm thinking it has to do with having less "padding". Anyone else notice that? It's gonna be a long winter I fear!

    Looks like an NSV to me.

    Yep. I think part of it is that it hasn't been cold enough to get used to it, but even 40-50 degree weather requires a sweatshirt!

    Ummm...can you hear everyone in Minnesota laughing? :happy:

    We're supposed to get a high of 21F on Thursday. I'm a pansy. I wear thermals all winter long, no matter what the temp or if I'll be outside or not. They're remarkably good at being warm enough when needed, but not too warm.

    I find it helps to put on the warm clothes before I get cold: once I'm already cold, they scarcely seem to help. If you have cold feet, don't underestimate the power of wearing a beanie and a warm coat - your body withdraws blood from hands and feet to keep your centre warm, so it won't do that so much if you are looking after your core heat. Chemical heat packs and Moutain Designs socks are nice, too!

    To be fair, I have always been cold, with or without 'padding' due to hypothyroidism, I know to be cold and it's not any worse this time^^ Being cosy helps though :)

    I get that from dehydration. But then Calgary is very dry most of the time.

    Before I lost 70 pounds, I was always warm and sweaty and hated it.
    Now I'm mostly cold - not always comfortable, but I actually prefer being cold.
    So yes, I've definitely noticed it! Many others I've talked to have also experienced this, it's quite logic too, I think..

    But some days are worse than others though. Maybe the hydration reason is a clue too? I'll try to think about that the next time I just can't get warmer..
