Cubing in Cold Weather.

[V-te]

So it's starting to get cold over here, and that's not good because my fingers get very numb and it hurts to do fingertricks. I could try gloves, but then They would slip. I need to find a way to cube in cold weather. What do you do when this happens? Solutions, tips will help.

it sucks, don't even bother really trying. Anyone at captain's cove knows what I'm talking about.

Also... if you live in bakersfield, CA... then it doesn't get cold there.

I usually just run my hands under warm water, then cube. I actually end up getting faster times.

Stalker... Lol. J/k, it doesn't get cold here, but in the past few years, we've had some pretty cold winters. In 06 and 08 the winters were extended. This year, I didn't see much of a summer. It's barely October and it's ale ready 50 F weather. So it's really messing my cubing up

50 degrees is nothing...but I shouldn't be talking, I am in Texas.

But I do go to Colorado every year.

50 F is cold for this time of the year.
It usually gets to about 38 and 25 at the coldest. (which will be in a few months)

Get a hand warmer. Use it occasionally.

Well, up here were the lowest temperature last year was -26 (before windchill factor), we usually heat the inside of our buildings, so no matter the outside temperature, it's warm inside.

Of course, if you have to go outside, make sure you put on some gloves. And not crap kind. I usually wear a pair of leather gloves, with fur lining, and have a pair of cotton gloves underneath those.

Yeah Bryan! Us Minnesotans are tough! If your fingers are numb in 50 degree weather, try going in a hot tub, then roll around in the snow. Gooooooood times

 

[Andreaillest]

I also live in Cali.(San Diego) It's getting cold here and I'm not sure how my times will be affected. I barely have gotten good ttimes.=(
Us Californians are so used to the sun.

Gosh, I remember minnesota, I couldn't even type let alone cube! It doesn't get very cold here in Iowa like lowest is -10° so I'm not very worried about my cubing... although this is my first cubing winter. I recommend to stay inside and when you go outside don't be a "macho" idiot.

How the heck do you get 50 degrees? Oh wait, you use Fahrenheit...

Good times. Lol. Celsius is so overrated.
