I thought about this the other night when our temperatures dropped down into the 20's. I went for an after dinner walk and had to remind myself to walk a little slower and not quite as far. I didn't go through valve replacement just to let winter weather get me!
I didn't click on the thread. computer is touchy. However, just wanted to say..I have no idea how you members that live in very cold climates...New England, Co. Rockies, ect. can handle the cold weather. Hubby just made a comment a few minutes ago about this winter...Like, today, sun is shining BUT wind is gusting cold..Cuts right thru me..Even with heavy coat and scarf...I'm not SOB..but..chilled to bone when I come back inside. Also, those that live in Oregon, Washington State. The rain? Had 4 days of cold rain....Tried to do my daily outside ride to P.O. grocery store, ect.same thing..chilled, when I got home. Of course, I am an older member.Age 65..and on coumadin......Both cardio and PCP annual visits last week..said everything was great. Winter's stink. Bonnie

Waiting for baseball weather
Waiting for baseball weather
Mary, I had the same experience when walking my dog on a bitterly cold day here in the mountains -- a sensation of being a little hard to catch my breath, a sensation that I don't usually have. So when when I saw the WebMD article, I thought it was worth posting.
My faithful dog is just going to have to wait til spring for the longer walks.
And Mary you and I will be happier when they throw out the first pitch for our St, Louis Cardinals' new season and we get some baseball weather to go with that.

I was worried that my Papillon had not come out of bedroom for his evening walk. He can tell time.. Found him in bedroom..Brought him out and fed him..Now just laying on floor.Normally, he would be at my computer begging to go for a walk...but, with the wind howling and cold. NO way... don't blame him.. Hubby walked him at 4 P.M..will just take him out for a short pee before bedtime Bonnie

Great article there !
In sunny Perth Australia when it is under 20 degrees Celcius about 70 F. I am cold and frequently get freezing hands and fingers.
Even the hottest days in Summer a nice warm 90-100 F are barely warm enough for me.
