St. Andrew's Day Fun in the Snow

A small part of my workout November 30, 2020, celebrating my Scottish heritage on St. Andrew's Day. My throwing attempts were fairly ineffective due to the fresh, slippery snow which limited both grip and footing, but it was fun nonetheless. I wore boots and Yaktrax in order to get some traction. Briefly I tried gloves too, in an effort to gain some purchase on the snow-covered caber, but gave up when they were less grippy than my bare hands.
I made several more hammer throws, a few more caber picks, and several weight over bar throws, none of which I filmed. Then I finished off with a barbell complex inside the barn (still kilted and shirtless, and barefoot as usual) for a little metabolic conditioning.
Temperature was hanging right around 25 degrees for the entire hour of my workout. My fingers got a little chilly from the snow but warmed up quickly when I put my hands in my armpits. My torso generates enough heat (thanks to BAT and my cold adaptation process) that the rest of me never felt any discomfort.
