Winter storm Pandora

[superballs63]

3 pairs of sox, high duck boots on, 5 pairs of pants( 3 pairs of tights 1 pair sweatpants and heavy trousers) 7 shirts on( all tight long sleeve thermals) n long sleeve size 2xl ups shirt n 2 winter hats. Needless to say my goal is to not feel the cold in the least lil bit at all which i always accomplish. Never feel the cold in the least lil bit except for my face. Always cracks me up when these dumbasses i work with are like i froze my nuttz off today, its like wear enough layers you freakin idiots and to top it off some of them wear no winter hat. PHUQKIN DUMBASZZES DUDE lmfao

We were in the LOW single digits Thursday and Yesterday, and one driver in another center wore shorts, No joke (I kind of wish it was)

Serious question, what do you do for gloves?

It is hard to find gloves that will keep your hands warm and let you use the DIAD.

I use the thin gorilla gloves that allow me to use the DIAD just fine. Not sure they're the best thing for cold weather though...

Gloves are for girls

I just use these rubberish gloves one of our guys gets from 1 of his business he delivers too. They work ok with using diad. get like 10 pairs for like 20 bux. He gets the super fatty discount with that place lol.

The snow and ice are so much worse as a package car driver than just being cold.

If the roads are clear I couldn't care less how cold it is.

Feel the same way RR, could not have said it any better lol.

I used to think this but this winter has been colder than normal and my hands have taken a beating. I have deep cracks and cuts on the fingers of both hands.

FootJoy, thinsulate, cold-weather golf gloves.

Seriously.

If you don't want to wear gloves you can tape your fingertips so they won't split from the cold.

I recommend Atlas Therm Fit gloves, been wearing them for 15+ years and cheap.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

I got the knit gloves. With rubber on the palms and fingers. From lowes -10 pair for 5 bucks. They keep my hands from drying up and cracking. No problems with using the Diad.

Saturday air tomorrow will be interesting.

I saw the thread title and thought for sure you were talking about the music app Pandora. They currently have a channel called "winter storm pandora" I was enjoying while delivering saturday air today. A little depressing, but it was quite appropriate.

I use Zims crack creme the same stuff cement workers use on their hands, for healing on the days off. I use liquid bandage or in a pinch super glue on the cracks. I hate the electric shock like feeling of hitting one of those cracked places.

Check out the Under Armour cold gear gloves on ua.com. There are many different styles and they are touchscreen compatible for use with the diad screen.

Feet here.

Agree with that. Its hard to keep your feet warm and dry no matter what you wear.

My feet are so dry they have small cracks and one big fissure. Basically what toonertoo described.

They need a chance to breath. Take your shoes off at lunch and let them air out for a few. Then put some fresh socks and powder on.

I carry powder in my backpack. As well as other odds and ends we might need. I googled it and baby oil was actually mentioned on more than a few articles.
