I am fifty year old female who has yet to find a pair of gloves or mittens that actually keep me warm. I’m in upstate NY and I prefer to walk outside in the winter, but my fingers become numb in five minutes. Help

I just like this picture I took on my drive home. It was too pretty not to stop.

Novosibirsk after midnight

It's my dream to go to Alaska to see the Northern lights.

This time last Yr ny heating bill came to £90 for November. It was on at a low setting and I was still freezing. This Yr I bought an oodie and a Cheaper version. They are both excellent and my Bill for November so far is under £20

Today was a bit of a struggle with cold legs and feet though but I bought a base layer pair of fleece thermal trousers and I'm all toasty again.

Last Yr I was cocooned in the couch and loathed to move because it felt so cold with the heating on but now I can cut about the house all cozy. Total cost for oodie and spare £70 and decent base layer £8

It's absolutely freezing 🥶 but feeling nice and cozy. If you don't have kids or vulnerable people in the house I really recommend this. 👌

I am able to find joy in all seasons except winter. I've been collecting wool pieces so I'm not so miserable this year (I live where it can be anywhere from -5 degrees to 33 degrees in the winter). I enjoy drinking hot drinks. I plan on winter hiking this year. But something is missing. I have no foods or special treats that I relate to winter. There are no activities in winter to look forward to (for me). There is no place I make sure to go to every year out of tradition. Traveling more than an hour is not an option for me.

What are your hobbies in the winter? What's your favorite thing about winter (besides snow and hot soup)? Is there certain media you love to consume around this time of year?

Also, if there's anything related to nature, I'd love to hear it!

I’m not sure if anyone else gets this way but my skin, especially my scalp, gets super itchy and dry in the winter. I swear my body despises winter. Any suggestions?

I have noticed through personal experience that night skies are more starry and clear during winter than they are during the summer months. Is it just because of where I live? I live in the American Southwest. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi all,

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this so let me know pls😅.

I’m from the Caribbean and have never been to Europe. Next year I will be doing an exchange program in Belguim and will experience my first winter.

I’m scared as I’ve never experienced weather under 27C and I already very very cold when in 25C with airconditioning. My nose, toes and fingers particularly start to hurt😅.

Any tips on how I can survive the winter where the weather will be under 10C ?🫠

Hello, what is the best place to ski in Europe, maybe what countries besides the French Alps?

Just something about a winter background
