I had to head out a bit early this morning to go tend to the animals I am watching. I left a little later than I wanted to, but it was still quite early for me.
I was well prepared for my few steps out to the car, my three minute journey to the house in town, the few steps needed to get into the house, and then my return trip home. I had my sweat pants on, a long sleeve shirt under my hoodie sweatshirt under my fleece-lined winter jacket on, nice warm socks and closed/tied shoes on, one hood up over my head, and some gloves on.
I've learned that the best thing to do is to dress in layers. It's the best way to benefit from any warmth that might be mustered up in winter months. And, if overly dressed for some reason, it's better to be able to shed some items than to be caught "out in the cold" without sufficient clothing if the opposite is true. I learned that I did not really need the hood on, not once I reached the car, anyway. But, I'm glad I had the other clothes on, for it was chilly, to say the least.
It was 12 degrees without the wind chill being factored in at 7:00 AM when I headed out. I quickly re-learned that a little time out in this type of temperature can wake me up as quickly as any splash of cold water in my face from the bathroom sink! I was wide awake by the time I reached my destination!
Well, I'm home now, back inside where it's nice and cozy and warm. It is supposed to maybe get above freezing today, but the wind chill factor will still keep it feeling like it's in the low to mid 20's. Even with that, it's evident that things are warming up a bit.
