Kilting in the cold

[Geoff Withnell]

Just thought I'd post this picture me finally getting out after we got the car free of the drifts and shoveled the road to where the plows had been.



Where is global warming when you need it. This does not look to me like 50 miles SOUTH of the Mason-Dixon Line, but it is.

Pretty amazing weather you guys are having back there.

Been snowy here this winter, too, but nothing like you all have had. Makes me glad I don't have coos any more.

I understand full well. I called my brother in law to ask him why he left New Hampshire, (To get away from the snow) for Gainesville, Virginia. I had sent him earlier an email of me in my kilt in a lounge chair in the back garden in Effingham, New Hampshire on green grass. His reply is not suitable for posting here. Add yesterday's little flurry to his misery.
In your post you mentioned to the road where THE snowplow had been. I believe that is the total number owned by the state of Virginia.

Good luck and good health on setting a snowfall record for your area.

But does New Hapshire have the traffic that Gainesville has. So there.

I'm already preparing for my return to Connecticut with tweed kilts in 26, 23 and 21 ounce weights.

Looks like a normal winter pic to me!

It is, for Michigan! I lived in Bay City for several years. But this pic is from just outside DC.

Just to add a kilt demension to the post, I did the digging in trousers. A nice kilt and good kilt hose is a warmer outfit!

You are so right! Standing out at my sons soccer practice the other night with wind at 17 mph and temps feeling like low teens wearing blue jeans sucked. My body heat was being lost through the cotton jeans so quickly and the denim was being chilled so much it was like ice when it touched my skin. Loosing body heat by convection or conduction is bad enough but both at the same time really is not fun. It's all I can do not to laugh when people ask "aren't you cold" or state, "you have to be soooooo cold" while wearing a kilt. If they only had a clue about the functionality of a kilt and the heat retention properties of wool

So That's where all our snow went.
