I have been following this thread since it was started back in September last year by
@Lady Sarah ... I have resisted posting a comment here until now because I am just the
opposite of the premise of the Subject Title...
"How do YOU handle the cold?"Handling the cold up here where I live is not an issue if one wears the proper clothing, hats, boots, gloves, etc, and keeps vehicles and homes well maintained with properly working heating equipment, etc.
I have a
much bigger issue with
handling the high HEAT and humidity down south....
One can only take off so many clothes... and cooling a car and a home is much more difficult and more expensive than HEATING them.... science and physics backs up that fact...
This coming summer with the occasional heatwaves that happen in many states I just may start a thread,
"How do YOU handle the heat?"Now, with much of the "lower 48"... many states and areas of the USA are experiencing the
opposite of Global Warming with very unseasonably colder weather... sub-zero temperatures, icy and snowy weather with snow accumulations exceeding the norms.
I trust that all of my Forums friends are staying safe, staying dry, and staying warm.
Regarding staying warm... I like to do it in a very pleasant way, In the Late Summer or Fall Season on a chilly night I have a back yard fire pit that I sit in front of and that I cuddle up with
my favorite suitor#4, my Toothfairy, and have a "Toasty Toes" evening.
I also have a propane fireplace in my living room that in the dead of a bitter cold winter is utilized the very same pleasant way.
Hugs and stay warm,
Danielle
