Remember that artic vortex cold snap a few years ago? I had just spent a couple of weeks visiting family in Florida. I was driving back o Kansas where we lived at the time. Just north of Nashville I stopped to get gas. The wind was whipping making the wind-chill factor -14 degrees F. I had not packed gloves, or a scarf, or a hat. In the minute it took to swipe my card, and start the pump and jump back in the car, my ears were hurting so badly from the cold. After I pumped the gas I went into the store to use the rest room and saw a rack of gloves and scarves. I bought some to get me home.
