RE: Cold weather tips.
Planter, those Thermacare wraps are amazing! I just started using them this season, even in November. I hate having too many clothes on. These things are the ticket. Wal mart actually sells an off-brand has an elastic belt that you can reuse. I just buy one of them and load up on the hot hands body warmers to put into the belt.
I found that if my kidneys are warm, I'm warm.
