Indeed. It's been bitterly cold in Minnesota with the best snow cover for winter sports in years. I look outside at the fresh fluffy snow and I'd love to go sledding or snow shoeing or skiing or even have a snow fight and . . . nuh uh. Even standing close to a well insulated window creates enough cold to cause pain and suffering.

Yesterday I wore a wide silver bracelet on my unaffected wrist at work. The slight temperature difference between my bracelet and my skin was enough to cause aching down to my bone, severe cold-burn and pain from my elbow to my palm.

I took it off in the late afternoon yesterday and the bone ache, cold-burn, etc, etc, etc, is even worse today. GRRRRRR!!
