« on: January 25, 2012, 07:10:15 AM »Why didn't you wear any gloves to prevent this whole problem? You should always wear them if you're going to be outside for more than a few minutes when it's below freezing. Furthermore, taking a shower was one of the worst things you could do as you induced two sudden temperature changes to yourself by suddenly heating up with hot water and later cooling down through evaporation of that water on your skin as you got out. You're supposed to get dry first after having frostbite and wrap the affected areas in a blanket to gradually warm them. Sudden rewarming can damage yourself worse than the initial frostbite.I didn't wear gloves because I didn't think it was going to get it, it was the wind chill that basically froze my hands. And I didn't take a shower to take care of the problem, I had to take a shower anyway

Notice how he didn't specify what the temperature of the shower was.It was a warm shower, cooler than I normally take though.

Taking a shower after getting frost bite is not fun. Now my fingers are swollen.

48°F and Sunny as of 9:46 this morning.
Unfortunately, all the snow has melted, and there are only tiny little piles left

Hopefully with a totally different outcome

Oh great, they said we'll get snow last night, nothing happened. Now they are saying 2-4" for tomorrow, but it's going to change to rain. Seems like we can't get an all snow event like last year, well we didn't last year either.
