Based on yesterday I am glad I am still carrying three pairs. Left Bristol at 3.45pm in sunshine with fingerless on, as I got 5 miles into my journey it went black and windy so pulled on a pair of thin finger gloves which stopped my fingers getting cold. 20 minutes later it starts to hail followed by snow so I stopped and put on my lobster gloves that are for mid winter and I was so happy they were at the bottom of my bag. It didn't improve any other part of my body by which point was frozen solid as the snow turned to freezing rain for the remaining 7 miles of the journey. Spring, I don't think so.
