When I was a kid I threw newspapers in the Texas Panhandle. Winters were cold, but the wind turned the cold into torturous conditions. Back in “the day” I was armed with tennis shoes that quickly got wet and only provide a weak substrate for the ice to attach. Gloves could only be used once the rubber bands were placed on the papers. By that time frost bite was looming.
Ok, Ok I never actually got frostbite, but always thought I would lose my toes and fingers to the winter storms.
