Journal Entry
Short Answer: Many Layers!
Tonight's dinner was a quick ten minute walk from the hotel. However, in -18 degree temperatures, quick is not the same thing as easy. Here's a list of what I wore to walk to the restaurant.
- Heat Tech tights by UniQlo
- Jeans
- Wool socks
- Ugg boots
- Heat Tech top by UniQlo
- Wool turtleneck sweater
- Wool hoodie jacket
- Down Coat
- Wool Scarf
- Balaklava
- Mittens (not gloves so that my fingers would stay together and be warmer)
- No glasses. I learned to keep my glasses off after the condensation on them froze during last night's walk. Several minutes were needed for that ice to melt.
Many layers of clothing are needed to walk in -18º weather.
I was still chilled after arriving back at the hotel. Tomorrow, I'll add a second down coat.
