It barely feels like we had summer and now the colder, darker days are upon us.
Nnot only this rotten H1N1 virus going around, but an assortment of other colds and nasty bugs as well.
My husband’s cousin visited from India and the poor guy sure wasn’t ready for the cold snap we had recently! For people who’ve never been subjected to a real Canadian winter, temperatures like ‘-30 with the windchill’ probably don’t even register. If you’ve never even seen snow it’s impossible to imagine cold so biting the inside of your nose stings.
I really hope this is a mild winter to make up for the miserable summer we endured but if it’s not, here are some of my favourite tips to stay warm:
- A long, thick winter coat. Enough with literally freezing your ass off. Keep it covered!
- A hat or a toque that stays on your head in any blizzard
- Wool sweaters. Even the thinnest ones will keep you toasty
- Mohair. A bit on the scratchy side but even the most loosely crocheted scarf will keep the heat inside.
- Winter boots with thick soles. The more material between your feet and ice you are slipping on, the warmer your feet will be.
We sell everything you need to keep you warm this winter no matter how cold and miserable it gets!
