It's supposed to get up to the mid 40s for the next few days here! I need to pick up a box of latex gloves tomorrow morning. The worst part of these cold weather jumps is not being able to feel my fingers when I hit the ground. Latex gloves under the ones I normally wear seem to keep that from happening.

I have some neoprene socks that are very nice (I actually bought some more pairs so I could wear them around the house,) a fleece vest I can put on under my jumpsuit and a neoprene hat and face mask I can put on if I need to. I'm set to jump in any conditions my home DZ will fly in!
I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Here is my winter jumping tip. Good gloves are mega-important but there is no law that says you have to freefall with your fingers outstretched. If you fly with your hands formed into fists, you will lose the radiator effect of having the wind blow through your digits.
