brrrr!
I can so totally relate - even though there is no snow (only rain) and the temperatures are between 5°C and 10°C. I also freeze all the time...
Grandfather told about how his mom used to put a heated stone in his bed so that it wouldn't be so cold. When grandfather was small he had a blanket filled with straw and mice. We also learned that he buried his toothbrush and therefor lost all his teeth. I worked for little "me" to get him to brush his teeth, but that would certainly not have worked for me. When I was that age I wished that I had false teeth so that I could be free of dentists having to pull out teeth to make room for more teeth and orthodontists and braces. I guess, you need to be careful with what you tell children. ;-)
