Ahhck dry weather! Little patches of dry skin on my fingers... anyone else get these?

So it's winter time again here in Chicago, and that means it's there is no humidity in the air. Throughout the winter I get little "patches" of dry skin on my fingers, mostly on the sides or on top around the joints. I use Aveeno lotion, which seems to help most of the time. Does this happen to anyone else?

Funny you should mention it. I'm typing this from the South Side, and I have exactly the same problem. It went away after about two weeks, though.

On a sidenote, what do you think traffic will be like going out of the city tonight? I'm driving home for Thanksgiving, and I really don't want to run into a traffic jam, or another bout of snow.

Keep your fingers in your nose, it's nice warm and moist in there.
It's a hit with the ladies too.

Tonight shouldn't be to bad. I assume it's going to be regular rush-hour Chicago traffic. I think Wed is the highest travel day or something like that. Good luck!

The dry patches on my fingers are from my bass
