Hey guess what?! It's cold outside. Captain Obvious here with some winter weather tips!

Wear mittens. No really, mittens as opposed to gloves. They will almost always warmer than gloves because there's skin on skin contact, and your fingers share body heat. You know skin on skin contact is always hotter right?

Here's 4 more winter tips:

1. Bubble wrap your windows. So you've duct taped the living crap out of your windows to seal them up. Still you can feel the winter radiating from your windows into your soul. Time to grab the bubble wrap!

Stick the flat side to yer winder, and the air in the bubbles will be insulation. However fun it may be, you won't even have to use more duct tape!  Spray the window with water, or better yet some window tint spray from the parts store and it should stick like a champ. It's looks dumb as all get out but you'll be warmer. If you're going to tape it, you'll want to find some Mossy Oak printed tape. It'll look better...at least from the inside anyway.

2. Supposedly vinegar on your windshield will prevent ice build up. Mix three parts vinegar and one part water and spray it on and there shouldn't be ice 4 inches thick on there the next morning. Or you even can use it to melt ice that's already there. If that fails, well, you just wasted a gallon of perfectly good salad dressing.

3. Grease your shovel. Cooking spray or a full body rub down (of the shovel) with olive oil should do the trick to keep the snow from caking to your compiled precipitation removal device.

4. Zip some zip-ties onto your bike tires. around the rim and tire and cut the rest of the tie off. put 'em a 1/2 inch apart and you've just invented snow chains for your peddler
