First tip to avoiding frostbite

I got my first tip for avoiding frostbite today during break time at work. Isn't that the normal convos? "So, yeah, what I do is every little while, I take my mitts off and touch my face to help thaw it back out. Besides, most of the freezing of your face only happens in the first hour. After that, it's not so bad". Me: sitting there wide-eyed, "yeah, after an hour, your skin is already frozen! Of course there's no more freezing!!" But thanks for the tip. I am apparently already in the know because I was doing just that on the way to work. My nose, chin, and cheeks just hurt. I don't want to lose the tip of my nose; it's essential for the whole face to work.

My nose is having a rough time really. Every day and night, I'm finding bloody bits in there from the dryness. And now, now, it's gonna fall off from frostbite apparently. Poor nose.

I think living here is gonna be quite the adventure to say the least. I learned today that because our internet is satellite and the sun is passing so low over us now that it will interfere with the satellite signal for several days in October preventing internet. I mean, seriously, who knows about this stuff??!! I'm used to the issues being that the coffee shop is out of the organic pumpkin spice mix for the day...not the sun interfering with the entire communications network of the Arctic.

Good times.Read more
