Small people and Winter, Making it work.

For most people winter isn't a favorite time of year. Let's face it, it's cold and all you really want to do is stay inside and cuddle up with lots of blankets and anything else that is warm. For small people, the struggle gets a little more real, because we literally disappear in the snow, because it's taller than us.

When making a snow fort, you will always be the first one to finish, because you don't really need a big one, because you are small enough to basically hide behind a snow drift. There are lots of fun things you can do, you just might get a little colder in the process, because your body is a bit smaller, and may not produce as much heat.

Winter is not usually kind to those who don't like the cold, but for little people it turns into something like this.

I seriously have to wear three layers just so I don't freeze to death, and I am in Southern Utah, where it's supposed to be warmer.  It's slightly warmer here than it is in Northern Utah, but not by much. I spend most of my day outside biking around Cedar City, and the cold bothers me so much more than it did before, and I used to live in Ephraim, where if it was cold outside, your nose would freeze together when you breathed in.

If you are little and don't love the cold, layers will be your best friend. Seriously! I wear two jackets, a thermal under my shirt and long pants, and I still end up almost frozen every day. The more layers you can wear the better. If you don't particularly need a lot of mobility, you can bundle up like Randy from A Christmas Story, and you will be warm. You may not accomplish much, but at least you will be warm.

The goal is to stay warm, and as long as you accomplish that, then you can make winter work.
