And just like that, the cold has taken over.
The evenings are darker, the air is parkier, and all we can think about is how bitterly cold our poor fingers are as we unsuccessfully hail cabs/fumble for keys/clumsily text that we are "just around the corner" when we've only just left the house. (Insert as appropriate.)
You have two options: Go down the portable electric hand warmer route, but really, it's just another hunk of plastic that will end up gathering dust when you inevitably misplace the charger. On the other hand, throw it back to your school days and plump for a plush pair of gloves that will keep your fingers toasty.
We're not exactly sure when we all stopped wearing gloves (probably around the time when we decided we'd rather freeze on the way home from a party lest a coat ruin our outfit), but they're long overdue a resurgence.
