I am so with all of you on this one!!!

Just two weeks ago our temps were 80-90 and now our lows are 35-40 and highs at 55-60. It just baffles my mind at how much more intense the lightning bolt electrical pain, swelling and sensitivity to the touch gets when the temperatures drop or cool air hits my legs. Ugh..

My husband and I live at the base of a ski hill and have spent more of our lives either skiing, snow shoeing or mountaineering so this is a particular sad time for me. I should be counting the days.. for when I can make first tracks, instead I am worried about how I will cope when it does. I've been studying all the latest technical gear in hopes of finding something that will keep my limb warm and shield my leg from the slightest breeze so that maybe, just maybe I could enjoy some outdoor winter fun. Has anyone tried the handy little heat packs people use in their mittens or boots?

My heart goes out to all who suffer with the cold temps. If I find something that works, I promise to share!!
