Frigid Temperatures and Riding the Tunnel Bus

Well, gang, we’ve reached that time of the year when fashion goes out the window and warm clothes must prevail.  As a Tunnel Bus rider during the next couple of weeks, you need to be prepared for just about any type of weather — cold and snow.  After all, it is NAIAS (North American International Auto Show) season.  For the uninformed, this means potential delays in crossing the border, especially in the afternoon.

So, let’s talk about the necessary requirements to wait for the afternoon bus in 5 F above weather with 20 mile-an-hour winds.  Just like your mother told you, dress in layers.  Long underwear, t-shirts, long-sleeved t-shirts, shirts, sweaters, two or three pairs of socks (one wool), gloves, scarf, and of course, fur hat for those of us that are focilely changed.  One more word of caution.  Important tip:  Always go to the bathroom first.  It’s difficult to remove all those close in an emergency!
