-4 ° C this morning (24.8 F for those of you still in the Imperial system). But dry and sunny, so decided to ride my bike into work. We bundled up really really well*, especially Karin, since she doesn't pedal yet to stay warm.
After 5 minutes of riding, I heard "my nose is cold!", so I pulled over, and repositioned her balaclava over her nose again. So far, so good. After this, it was relatively quiet, probably because she was still tired, and because it is harder to talk and sing (like she usually does) while all bundles up. Surprisingly, whenever I asked if she was ok, she would report no problems.
Until about 7 minutes before we got to daycare. My first thought was that she would protest the bitter cold. But no. The biggest problem during this whole trip? Her head was itchy!
Yay for Norther European anti-freeze in our blood :)
*Karin looked like a little polar bear:
underpants, tights, socks, snowboots, long-sleeved shirt, warm dress, snowpants (the britches-kind, covering part of her belly too), 2-layer winterjacket, balaclava, helmet, jacket hood over helmet, thick gloves, plus (since that was what tends to get coldest) *my* fleece gloves over hers.
