-9.0, I'm freezing my tits off.
Went to Vermont this weekend, froze my tits off.
Here's a nice snapshot of the digital thermometer at the Herberger residence, as you can see, it was very cold out this morning. This picture didn't take into account the blisteringly cold windchill. The wind was gusting 35-45 miles per hour that day, making it a balmy -66.69927654392393 outside. I'm pretty sure the temperature would have continued to drop unitl it reached absolute zero (-459) but the wind died down, thus allowing all molecular movement to commence.
The one good thing was that this was right as the storm started to whip up and dump 20 inches down on Mount Snow... Thankfully I've got just about every layer that EMS sells so I was layering up on the neoprene, gore-tex, North Face, etc. I was using hand and toe warmers like they were going out of style. I had for of those bad larrys in my glovies. At one point I noticed that steam was coming off of the palm of my hand, it was freakin money. Starbucks should attach those things to their coffee so they never get cold, then I could see paying $4 for a freakin drink, you know, as long as it never got cold.
Whoah, this post went waaayyyyyyyyyy off topic.
Enough said, it was cold, people that don't know what Goretex XCR and layering was all about froze into a solid brick and shattered into pieces, a-la Terminator 2 style with the liquid nitrogen.
