It’s starting to get COLD in chicago, and I mean 20s and 30s, REALLY COLD (especially for those of us who have raynaud’s even when opening the refrigerator!) I thought I would post some of my favorite products to keep you warm.
- Smartwool socks. These socks are lightweight and non-itchy and come in all kinds of neat patterns. (See these.) You can buy them through the company’s site, or other outlets such as REI. There are also other products such as hats and scarves made of the same material.

- Handwarmers. I love these handwarmers by Grabbers. You can put them in your shoes or carry them in your pocket. I buy a big box at Costco at the start of the winter and use it up by the time it’s spring.
- The Vermont Country Store has a lot of products designed for the cold winter days in Vermont. This year I bought the mittens which look cozy and warm and some tights made of wool which come in lots of nice colors. Maybe someone with scleroderma can wear a skirt in the winter in Chicago! I will have to keep you updated.
