Skate away

Here is what I've learned about the cold - it's really not that bad when you WANT to be out in it. Last night I went skating. I wore tights, long underwear and jeans on the bottom. Two pair of socks, two t-shirts, two sweatshirts, a ski jacket, hat and double thick mittens.  It was 15F (-9C) with very little wind, and while I was chilly, I was comfortable.

I look like I'm going really fast, right?

One of the best parts of MN winter is that you can skate and sled almost anywhere during the winter.  This field is flooded in a park a block from my house.  My skates were a find on the side of the road 2 summers ago.  They were pretty rusty, but I didn't fall once!
