Snow Much Fun | Pad Patter 2.23.23

[umyesh]

We were blasted with snow yesterday so I have a very important snow-related question today.

Mittens or gloves?

 

[umyesh]

I always wear double gloves: soft pair underneath, waterproof pair on top. My sister has started knitting mittens though so I might have to try them!

 

[KayTeaPea]

We don't get snow here enough to worry about it, but I do have ski gloves that are hybrid mitten/gloves that I love, so both, I guess.

We been blasted the last few days too we are up to...mmm.. 15 inches of snow now? Or 16? 17? I domt know I lost count...and it's still snowing..and we have ice too.. like icky eww ice under it.. it's nasty ..my hubby stayed home yesterday cause we got the worse of it and he works 45 mins away and didn't want to risk killing himself in the white out conditions ... mostly with all the ice under the snow with his muststang even with the winter tires ...
And my car is not reliable at all as it is slowly dying and a piece of crap mobile as I call it

Ohhh and I prefer ..mittens. wool most of the time...but gloves for typing on the phone.. but mittens are warmer ..my grandma use to make the cutest out of old sweaters every year for Christmas gifts and i still own a bunch and cherish them...

Ohh and snow is gross.. enough said

We have had NONE this year! Very odd.

Gloves! Def.

These days I don't go out in the snow but when I still worked and would have to drive, it was always gloves so I could grip the steering wheel better.

And, it is 63 degrees here today... definitely not a normal February temperature!

No snow here but when its cold enough I wear fingerless gloves otherwise as my hands are too small the fingers of the gloves/mittens end up miles too big

I have both mittens and gloves. Several. Depending how cold it is, you need at least 3 of each, so that you can chose accordingly.

I have Reynard's and need two layers, so mittens over gloves is my preference. Two pairs of gloves is too bulky on the fingers.

Well, it's 80 degrees here today and humid. The A/C is on and has been for a while.

We RARELY get snow and/or ice.

I do have leather gloves for driving when it is very cold, but I haven't used them in years. I did use them a lot 20 years ago when I was working outside the home.

 

[aballen]

It's close to 80 degrees here today Definitely not a typical winter. But when it is cold I like both, it just depends on what I am doing.

 

[mary kate]

We get a lot of snow here, so I have both mittens and gloves (not to mention hats, scarves, winter boots, heavy coat, etc). I prefer mittens.

 

[bestcee]

It's 70 here so flip flops?

Lol! I have gloves no mittens. I use them mostly to walk the dog and that requires fingers!

Hybrid sounds like a great idea! I'll have to look for those.

I'm sorry you're stuck with gross snow Kari! Stay safe and warm!

I love that you have mittens made by your grandma. What a treasure!

As I was shoveling my heart out yesterday I realized I haven't had to shovel this much since we moved to this house in 2016. Crazy year.

Good idea to drive with gloves for better grip.

It's so interesting that this February is not normal weather for so many people!

Fingerless is smart for when the fingers don't quite fit!

You sound like you've got the right idea Eva. I grew up with mittens but we don't own any now! I need to remedy that so we have more options.

When I was little I would always wear mittens and gloves to ski. It worked very well.
