Re: weather

I tried that, but my hands are too big. I can reach an octave and 4 comfortably, if you know the piano reference. If not - BIG! Even men's gloves aren't big enough to let me put a pair of knot gloves underneath.

I wear regular knit gloves, that fit tightly over my hands, and then I put
on leather gloves...the soft, thinner kind where you can actually MOVE your 
fingers around.  I spray the leather gloves with water repellent (same for
my boots - even though they are gortex lined - keeps them cleaner that way) Works for me. I go out to change the water and break ice and my hands don't 
get too cold...chilly...but not cold.

I have enough warm clothes (usually overalls over sweats) so that I don't
freeze while taking care of the chickens and the feral cats, but I haven't 
found a good solution for my hands. No matter what I do, I seem to get my
gloves wet. When it's below freezing and the wind is blowing, my hands ache 
for hours afterwards.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried rubber gloves over my regular gloves but 
they're pretty unwieldy.

Yep...I finally broke down this year and went to the feed store and bought
my first pair of Carhart bibs and jacket. I hate being COLD and I've been 
going out to break the water for the animals (my husband takes half the
animals, I take the other half) and I get outside to feed and take care of 
them and the wind goes right through me.
For years I used to say how ugly Carhart stuff is...this mustard yellow
tent
material made into pants and coats.  Ughh.  Well....lemmeeee tell
ya....those were not made to look pretty. They were made to work in. And 
they do the job.  I can't even FEEL the cold when I'm outside in those.
Only my face gets cold.
