They're a hardy bunch these Yorkshire people! It's only a degree or two above zero and almost everyone in the streets is bareheaded. I go into a shop and my nose is running, my eyes are running and my glasses are fogged up. One lady in a shop on my way back home tonight (well, it was mid-afternoon, but felt like evening) said, "I can feel the cold coming off you". For the first time in my life I can't do without a head cover and, while I'm still resisting my specially purchased NZ beanie, I have taken to wrapping a long warm scarf around my head and tucking the ends into my jacket collar.
I did see women in hats at the Minster service but I think that was a matter of convention rather than warmth.
I do like the way the cold encourages you to walk faster!!
