I remember we didn’t have insulated boots then, just rubber boots, we wore several pairs of socks and then slipped our feet into discarded bread bags. We secured the top with a rubber band and then put them inside our boots! We played outside for hours sledding, building forts and having snowball fights! We were covered in snow and our boots were filled with it too. When we got wet, we got cold and it was time to go in for some hot chocolate and some kind of baked goodie. My mom used to hose down the patio so we could ice skate! I have such good memories of winter from my childhood. I don’t see kids doing this type of thing much now. Too bad, they are missing out on so much.

BTW – windchill here in Maine is -24 today with high of 4. Tonite will be -16. But hey, at least the sun is shining bright. Thx for the great tips. I don’t own much non-cotton clothing. Yikes! 🙂
