snowy walk, with hat photo

[redbird]

I just went for a walk, after adrian_turtle texted me to say she'd been outside right at the beginning of the current snowfall. I walked several blocks, turned around, and did a first pass on shoveling our sidewalk when I got back. It's really not my turn, since I shoveled the walk after the previous snowfall, but I was outside anyway, and it's light, fluffy snow.

I wore my long coat, a fancy blue and purple fur hat that I bought on a whim a few years ago and then didn't wear, and a medical mask. The har doesn't cover my ears, but having my nose and mouth covered makes a real difference to how cold I get, and feel.

You look lovely, mask and all. I find that the face masks work better for me than a winter scarf would, because the nose wires help keep my glasses from fogging up.

The nose wires don't stop my glasses from fogging up, which isn't why I'm not wearing glasses in that photo, but is why I didn't put them back on after taking it.

What a great hat.

I've had that experience with the mask too; even a lightish one makes one far warmer. Which is not so great in hot weather, but hot weather is a long way away right now.

Yep, I clicked through to agree on this point.

Yes, definitely. Masks do a great job of keeping my face warm.
