I'm sure most of you in the United States have heard about our lovely ice storm here in the midwest, I'm not sure what those of you living around the world have heard. Well, it started out with rain this morning and quickly turned to sleat (sleet?... however you spell it) and it was supposed to turn to snow later this after noon but it's still sleeting...

Since I don't actually own a practical kilt (ie. a non belted plaid) yet, I was debating how well I'd get along wearing my belted plaid... but even bundled up in my jeans and nice heavy over coat and such the beating of the sleet was not fun... Just wondering what it's like wearing a kilt in this sort of weather... or do some of you choose ano alternative? (btw, would it be alright to wear a trench coat if you're wearing a kilt?)
