What do you expect when the temperature plummets below the water line? As if that's not far enough, we have to go FURTHER! Into the imaginary numeral territory we like to call below zero. We like to call it that, but we don't enjoy experiencing it. On days like this, the prudent among us get up early, and start prepping in every conceivable way to generate warmth, both inside and outside the body.

• Oatmeal? check
• Long underwear (or cuddleduds)? check
• Flannel lined jeans? check
• Ski socks or multiple pairs of lesser socks? check check
• Coffee and/or cocoa? check
• Sorels? check
• Scarf and/or pashmina? check
• Hat? (preferably with ear flaps) check
• Down parka extending as close to the ground as possible? check
• Bring food for fuel later? check
• Plan travel for short distances and only to warm destinations? check
• Carry pocket handwarmer known only to those in the dog sled business, arctic explorers and Minnesotans? check
• Emergency kit on board? (containing candy bars, candle & matches, card deck & cribbage board, and a "SEND HELP" sign for the back window of your car) check

OK then! Let's go!!!!
