For this Florida mom who hasn't dealt with a cold winter in many years... I've got a curiosity question. If the day time highs are in the 30's and you will have ski pants on, do you think DS (11yr old active boy) will need long underwear (thermals) under a pair of pants under the skipants, or will he be ok with just pants or sweats? >If the day time highs are in the 30's and you will have ski pants on, do you >think DS (11yr old active boy) will need long underwear (thermals) under a >pair of pants under the skipants, or will he be ok with just pants or >sweats? He shouldn't need thermals if the temps are above 0, though he certainly can wear them if he feels cold. I wouldn't wear them under ski pants myself unless it was below 0. -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..

Just pants and sweats would be fine for during the day... maybe pack the thermals JIC and let him decide?

I'd go without the long johns as long as he promises to wear the ski pants. no ski pants, he might like the long underwear to protect from wetness throught the day. -Aula  SignaturePeople are just smart enough to not be happily ignorant. - Surge >Lead Foot Mama mentioned in passing : >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >-Aula Good to see you back - have not seen you post in a long time - but then neither have I.

Hope things are well Thanks. RL has been hectic and I don't see the end in sight. We *should* close on the house Apr 1, if the financing agency behaves [they haven't been], but we have a second one in the bag, at a slightly higher interest rate since the first one started acting like idiots after rates started to rise. Been attending training after training, nearly all about a 2.5 hour drive [one way] from home. Most, like the one I'm going to today through Fri., I come home daily as I'd rather be with family than stuck in a hotel room with cable tv, my embroidery and burger king take out. Spring's knocking at our door, though [as is New England mud season, for those of you kno the know], we'll be moved out of my parents' house and into ours by the end of April [redoing kitchen first [etc], and my Florida sports car seems to be a hot commodity [several potential buyers phoned this week, yeah!!!!] Well, take care, I peep in as I can. -Aula Signature'May you live all the days of your life.' - Swift >Well, take care, I peep in as I can. i was wondering about you... glad all is slowly coming together for you. i miss you immensely. {{hug}} Michelle -- If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

Well, I'm mainly used to the snow [and happy that the twelve inches last night/this a.m. was on the *other* side of the State, and am really looking forward to lilacs and violets. Florida???? Yeah, I miss certain aspects and people, and maybe I'll think of retiring there [ha ha], but it is nice to be back near family [usually]. -Aula SignatureWithout commonly shared and widely entrenched moral values and obligations, neither the law, nor democratic government, nor even the market economy, will function properly. - Vaclev Havel, Czech Politician <snip> > Thanks.

Mee too. Hubby isn't going to hold out much longer from what I can tell so the closing next Friday is a real blessing! -Aula SignatureSome things cannot be taught, only discovered. >ºFree~Spiritº mentioned in passing : >> Good to see you back - have not seen you post in a long time - but [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >-Aula Thanks for the update - I hope you get squared away with the financing and hope for the lower rate - every little bit helps and it adds up. 2.5 hour drive one way a day though is awful. We might be doing some remodeling too. DD has a whole list for the spring (painting floors etc) well we will see how the $$ are going to come in or not.

High altitude or "not particularly"? At this time of year, the sun is higher in the sky and 30 on a sunny day can feel a lot warmer than it did 6 weeks ago. I think he'll be okay with jeans and ski pants. JMO. From Minnesota. Signature-Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> Sweet Potato Follies added 2/24/05.

He should be fine w/o them unless it is very windy. We save thermals for when it is very bitter. Under 0 or when the wind chill is under 0. > For this Florida mom who hasn't dealt with a cold winter in many years... > I've got a curiosity question.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >pair of pants under the skipants, or will he be ok with just pants or >sweats? Forget the long-johns. 30's is not that cold. But I guess it also depends on what he is used to. Above 30 DD wears short sleves and maybe a light Jacket. But then we are used to it. Maybe runs in the genes. Heat is set at 60 and we sleep w/o PJ's. But then that comes from a guy who shovels snow in his T-shirt. How cold is cold is subjective. and depending on how thick your blood is. Let him step outside for a minute to try it out. Free Spirit DD(8) DS(11) |
