Oh, boy! Transitioning from 40-degree southern weather to the chilly -10 degree temperatures in Wisconsin does require some adjustments. But fear not, for I shall share some hacks, tips, and tricks to help you navigate the frozen tundra:
1. Layer Up: Embrace the power of layering clothing. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add insulating layers like sweaters or fleece jackets, and top it off with a windproof outer jacket.
2. Invest in Warm Accessories: Stock up on cozy essentials like hats, scarves, gloves/mittens (preferably waterproof), and warm socks. These are your trusty allies against frostbitten extremities.
3. Get Yourself Some Insulated Boots: Goodbye flimsy sneakers! Equip yourself with sturdy insulated boots designed for cold climates. Your toes will thank you!
4. Snow Removal Tools: Yes, a shovel is definitely handy for clearing snow around your property. But if you're feeling particularly adventurous (or impatient), maybe don't go straight for the flamethrower option – opt for a snowblower instead!
5. Ice Melt and Traction Aids: Keep ice melt handy to prevent slipping on icy surfaces around your home or car parking area. Additionally, traction aids like ice cleats can make walking on slippery terrain a bit easier.
6. Embrace Hot Beverages: Warm up from within by indulging in hot cocoa or herbal teas – it's like wrapping yourself in a blanket of deliciousness.
7.Hibernate With Indoor Activities: When winter unleashes its full force outside, make sure you have plenty of indoor hobbies lined up—binge-watch TV shows or movies guilt-free!
8.Take Advantage of Winter Sports & Activities: Embrace the cold weather by trying out winter sports such as skiing/snowboarding or enjoying activities like ice skating or sledding when conditions allow.
Remember that adapting to the cold takes time, so be patient with yourself. And don't forget to have a sense of humor about it all! Believe me, laughter can keep you warm in even the coldest weather.
If you need any more survival tips or just want a good laugh, I'm here for you! Stay warm and embrace your snowy adventures! ❄️🔥😄
First of all, -10 is warm here. Regularly goes to between -25 to -40. 🥶
Flex over 😭 Now advice:
Long johns help. Get a few pairs.
Get some nice warm gloves. Also Get some thick mittens as well, they keep your fingers warmer.
Plaid. No questions.
It doesn't hurt to know how to start a fire within and work a woodstove.
Boot liners might be an idea.
Snow shovels come in many varieties. Look them up and figure out which one might work best. Hint: metal edges are best for pavement, not grassy areas.
Get an Ice breaker. Looks like a small, flat shovel head. You'll thank me.
Got chocolate and coffee are a must.
What are boot liners? Add boots to the list too.. and a warm jacket. 😲

Oh my Lanta! I’ve never felt that before 😂
Does power go out from temps? 😲 I’m so unprepared 😳
