According to the internet, and it never lies, January is said to be the coldest month in the northern hemisphere. Crazy how it is so cold and yet we tend to spend quite a bit a time out there. Making showmen, skiing, snow shoeing, making snow angels, outdoor beer fests (and yes they have them) etc etc. So i figure i would snoop around and come up with some ideas maybe you did not think about to stay warm out there!

1: If you can, prewarm your clothes in the dryer. Nothing to elaborate on here just pure genius if you ask me..

2: Did you know that water is very good at retaining heat? I didn’t. Just learned if you stay nice and hydrated, when you are outside you will actually feel warmer. Who knew?

3: Next up, fleece leggings under your jeans. Now i don’t know about you but the holidays were very good to me. And when i say that i mean there wasn’t a cheese and meat tray or a bourbon ball that see my pie hole, so i may be taking a hard pass on this due to the sheer embarrassment of being spotted by my spousal unit trying to pull my dungarees up and over my backside with one more obstacle.

4: Finally and yes this one i do like, to stay warm out there you need to eat fatty foods. Fatty foods raises the ph of blood in our bodies which is said to help raise the temperature in our bodies.

Well there you go! Happy Winter stay warm my friends!!
