My joints (particulary my hips) go very stiff and painful in the cold, and I live in the north east nd have a job that involves lots of outside.
Aibu to buy loads and loads of jumpers and waterproofs and start dressing like the michelin man?
Or I am totally seriously considering the cape and layers of skirts look.
Last bad winter (last but one, with the total cancellation of transport and 2 ft deep snow) i found big boots, tights, leggings, two full length skirts, vest, long sleeve t shirt, short sleeve t shirt, jumper, cardigan, long goth coat and scarf wrapped round my head (muslim/peasant kind of style) and another scarf round my neck plus gloves and thick socks worked quite well.
Lol, can you tell I hate the cold? Also, that I dress quite oddly to start with?
Looks like this one will be at least wet, but we had our first standing snow (well, drifts of hailstones on the ground, about 10cm deep and took 48 hours to melt in my garden) and massive flooding in August, so anything at all could happen.
Also, how do I keep a 3yo and 5yo warm this year?
