    Kilted In A Snow Storm (Not a word about alignment!)

    With 5 inches on the ground, and 8 more coming, what better time to take a pic? The river in the background is the Platte river.

    The kilt is a Stillwater heavyweight Blackwatch, and the sporran is also from Stillwater. The socks are from Hamilton Dry Goods.

    Notice the sticker on the rear window of my pick-up.

    And yes, that is a "Yankee Hater" beanie!

    Wow, after 16 years growing up in Manitoba and 13 years in the mild climate of BC, I sure don't miss those white outs.

    It's shaping up to be one of those today.

    You like the pin? Great! I got it off E-bay, and had the locking pin attached by a local jeweler. I don't own a kilt pin that was actually marketed as one.

    Any weather is the right weather for a kilt!

    Great pictures! I wish we'd get some snow here in Maine, as I'm tired of just coming to work kilted in single-digit, windy weather. Snow makes it even better!

    Thanks for sharing these with us.

    BTW, where did you get the "Got Kilt?" sticker on your rear window?

    Keep 'em cool!

    Wow. Happy Spring! There are things I miss about Nebraska, but winter storms aren’t one of them.

    You look happy, though!

    Colin, where in Manitoba did you live? I grew up in Dauphin.

    Al, I was born and raised in Winterpeg, Manitoba, where the provincial bird is the mosquito and the provincial flower is a snowflake

    I don't miss the place much, but would like to go back one day and trek up to Churchill to see the polar bears.

    I got the "Got Kilt?" sticker on e-bay. The e-bay store is "Triskelt".
