Removing the gloves twenty times a day to handle small objects quickly becomes annoying, but going without them in this weather is not an option.<\/p>\n<p>I finally pulled out my trusty fingerless gloves and started wearing them everywhere. They keep my hands warm while allowing me to handle tools and use a keyboard. <\/p>\n<p>I plan on wearing these beauties until the weather turns decently warm again. I don&#8217;t care if I look like an nineteenth century newsboy with these gloves on. I can do almost any kind of work while wearing them, including posting items on my weblog.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a similar situation, these gloves are available at REI and other camping supply outlets.<\/p>\n<p>Plan C involves buying tickets to warmer climes. <\/p>\n<p>Another month of this weather and we&#8217;ll activate Plan C.
