    I do not expect to see temps above freezing until March or April.

    I find it difficult to drink enough water during winter. I have to remind myself to drink. I use an empty Gatorade bottle filled with water on the kitchen counter to remind me to drink and refill it so I can sort of keep track if I am drinking enough. And, yes, I have heard that before about hydration and cold weather. I've never paid much attention to it as I have always been more concerned with simply staying hydrated because during winter, the cold seems to cool me off even when I am active and I simply don't drink as much even when I should so...but I expect he is correct.

    I stay "warmer' by wearing a het.

    A good hooker helps too.

    Zimmy Wait, I'm not ready!

    Sleep nekid in your fart sack.
    Wear layers.
    Keep your feet dry and clean or the cold will pull out your soul.

    I drink 100 ounces of water minimum per day. I track everything.

    The pressing the thumbnail idea was cool. Thanks for that.

    Long ago I learned that your head and feet are the main points that keeps you warm or cool. On cold winter night, I sometimes even wear a stocking hat to bed. A hat is the first thing I take off if I am too hot and the first thing I put on if I'm too cold. Feet if wet or cold will make the rest of you cold so keep them dry and warm.
