Severe cold is nothing to sneeze at, and I suspect that the metal handle of your broom didn’t help, either. Thank goodness you came inside when you did!
I’m glad to hear that Bryan’s feeling better. There have been some nasty bugs going around this winter.
I did go out with gloves on and finish the job, but I’ll never go out to sweep the snow again without my gloves.
The rest of me wasn’t cold at all, even with a very light shirt on, just my hands, and you’re right, it was from the metal broom handle.
