I am amazed that this thread was started in 2005.

Yeah, I ran over some tumbleweeds in Wyoming today. Saw some snow on the ground, and even walked through some while I worked. Froze my fingers. It was only in the 40s, but the wind was ridiculous. Between the cold fingers, and the cold wind making my eyes water while trying to take pictures, it was not a lot of fun. Photographers don't blink a lot while working, and the wind, especially when it is cold, is brutal.
Oh, yeah, I have yet to find gloves that work for photographers. I can't work the controls with gloves on.
I did take your advice on the AWD rental car. A nice little Mercedes SUV. I didn't end up needing it, but I'm not paying for it, so why not. I get special rates from Hertz, so it wasn't that big a deal, anyway -- an extra 30-bucks.

So it's true that a snowman in Wyoming is just a tumbleweed packed with snow!
Even better than fingerless gloves, fingerless convertible gloves:You should get a pair of fingerless gloves and wear mittens over them, take the mittens off for fine work. Maybe a pair of googles you can move up for the shot.

Ack, we could have met up! We're about 1 1/4 hour drive from Bradley. There is a really, really good Jewish deli in Vernon, about half an hour away from the airport and about 45 minutes from us up on MA. Himself isn't a socializer, especially with people he's never met, but he's coming around. I know he would talk with you, since you both love photography. He did side jobs for $$ when he was in college and shortly after....where I am, in Connecticut, it is 35F.
