Windchill
Posted by Melanie at 07:15 0 commentsRunning shoes just don't cut it when the temperature is minus eighteen and the windchill makes it feel like minus twenty eight. I was thinking of getting a balaclava but nixed the idea when I realized how stupid it was too run in temperatures like this anyway. Even skiing is a bit dicey at these temperatures despite the fact ski boots are warmer than running shoes.
By midday it has warmed up to minus thirteen but the windchill is still making it feel like minus twenty, and my body is rebelling at the thought of running, maybe because the promised sunshine has not shown up.

The other thing, is the house is finding it hard to keep warm, even with all the heat sources cranked. It's not cold, just cool enough that I feel the need to wear a wool sweater, to take the chill off. I'm not complaining just stating a fact.
