You definitely need better gloves. I blew snow yesterday wearing some Home
Depot work gloves. I was OK when I was shoveling and moving my hands a lot,
but the unheated handles of the blower made my fingers d*mn cold.

Today I wore a good pair of ski gloves. My hands were sweating and it's in
the single digits here, wind chills around neg 15. Heated blower handles
would be nice, but good gloves work pretty well too.

Didn't help that one pair I had indoors was thin
cotton. The good gloves were about 5F as they were
out in the truck. I should have a good pair of
gloves, stored indoors.


You do know that your hands would have warmed the gloves, don't you? And
quickly, too. As long as they were dry, putting on the cold gloves would
gave been better than wearing the thin cotton ones.
