Here is a quick picture, taken (actually after) my daughters annual "Snowflake Ball" at their elementary school. It was actually a very full evening. The younger daughter first had to perform in her Christmas recital outside, 55 degrees, and it started raining 5 minutes before the end. I took my jacket and held it over the wife and I so she could finish videoing the show. Unfortunately, the bottom hem of the leather jacket I was holding over my head slid under the collar of the shirt. Needless to say, about 2 minutes after I had lifted the jacket over my head, I started getting a steady stream of cold water down my back! Yuck!

Then we headed to the Snowflake Ball. After being there for about 40 minutes, i had to leave and head to our church for a wedding rehearsal (I run the sound and video). It was still raining, and we only have one working vehicle right now, so I decided to walk (about 20 minutes) so my lovely wife could have the car to take the kids home. It was not a nice walk, rain still coming down and temperature down even further, but the kilt and leather jacket kept me comfy and warm. Sure glad I had worn wool this night. The kilt had been wet twice, and I was still dry and snug underneath. Never had a chance to test it in this kind of weather before and for this long outdoors.
