The temperature hovered around -10C with windchill today. I was running out of food at home so decided to take advantage of the clean streets to go do some grocery shopping at Walmart's. I wasn't planning to do grocery shopping there but I wanted to buy some mouthwash from Walmart's and while I was there, I felt too lazy to walk over to No Frills in the same plaza to buy food. So, I spent $67 at Walmart's today. I wonder how much I would have saved had to gone over to No Frills. Bananas go over $0.57 a pound at both Walmart's and No Frills. But then, there are other stuff I bought which I could probably get cheaper at No Frills.
Anyways, today was my first time out since new year, I believe. I was afraid of the snow so I used my bicycle last weekend to go grocery shopping. Tonight, the snow will come back so I decided to head out with my bike before the dump starts. At -10C, I was super warm. My fingers felt cozily warm. It felt a bit strange at first because of the bulkiness but the handlebar mitts worked beautifully. I don't think anything out there works as well as these mitts. I think the handlebar heated grips warm up the palm side of your hands and fingers, but there is still the back side that is exposed to the wind. With the mitts though, your hands are fully protected. Super warm. That was a nice ride I had today.
I hope the snow will be kept at bay once a week. Let the streets stay clean and dry. I'll be out there!
