January.
Yes, this dude is infreakingsane (but yes I'm addicted to being
one of his rabid groupies).

I shivered in four layers until my car warmed up and this guy is
jumping in the lake?

In a Capital Weather Gang article about the brutal cold across
the country this week, I made the mistake of glancing at the
comments ...
"Years ago in Germany, I walked into work through real cold and
when I itched my nose, you could hear the stuff inside breaking
up like glass and falling out. Booger Glass Weather is a
bummer...."

I used heavy neoprene gloves for years riding, and I found that
while they're great when you remember to wiggle your fingers,
the moment you stop moving it's icy cold. With the damage in my
fingertips, I had to finally get used to riding in heavy
gauntlet gloves. For running, I have thin neoprene gloves, and
both of my cold weather running shirts have integrated mittens
that I pull on over top. If it's colder than that, I've got rag
wool mittens to wear on top of the gloves.

Thank goodness my fingers are fine and a standard winter glove
for biking is fine. This is primarily affecting my right foot.
Unlike most of the population, I stay clipped in on my right
side so I'm used to using my left foot for stopping and
standing. It has occurred to me that only my right foot got
frost bitten last year because its 'used' less than my left on a
ride. I am kicking myself that I didn't insist on going home
that day last year.
And my foot is still tender today despite not leaving the house
and wearing socks all day.

Have you seen a neurologist about this? There might be something
to be done? Exercises, treatment? Etc.?
re: Kicking yourself - hey, chit happens. Use it as impetus to
not shut up the next time you are in a position where you are
unhappy and want to bail (or do something different), etc.
Because now you have the firsthand understanding of why your
opinion matters the most - you will be the one who lives with
the results the most intimately. That said... you also didn't
even know this was possible, and if you had that knowledge, you
might have made a different decision then. So, yeah, work on
trusting your gut more, pushing for your preference, but also
work on forgiving yourself for not knowing what you didn't know
- and had no reason to know.

And so that some of us can appreciate that it could be a whole
lot worse....
Mom said it -22 C in the morning where she lives. Considerably
colder than our 22 F or so that we had today.

Haven't seen a neurologist. This just started to be a problem
the weekend before Christmas when we went skiing so its a
relatively new thing.

Today's a good day for our northeast folk to just go back to
bed.
