This was the first day of snow here in Halifax, Nova Scotia this winter and it's actually quite an all-day snowfall.... I just got back inside. I walked a fair ways to a few stores in the snow that's been falling all day. Sidewalks and roads have many inches and some cars are having some problems getting 'unparked' (whilst some others are having problems not becoming parked against a tree!).

The temperature online says it's -2 Celcius (28 Fahrenheit ) but "feels like" -9 degrees Celcius (16 Fahrenheit ) ... and I was out there in my kilt and didn't feel cold at all.

I had my usual scarf leg-wraps around each calf and then another scarf leg wrap around each knee area - so I felt warm.


I can guarantee (since I remember it) that wearing blue jeans in that would have been colder. Jeans become horribly cold and stiff in that weather. Yet I can imagine some people wearing jeans out there looking at me and thinking I must be cold haha


That was awesome ... now I know I can go through the winter kilted for sure!

I was walking on a sidewalk and this guy from across the sidewalk yelled out

"Dude! Power to you!"


haha...that was one of the best comments yet!


My legs were wrapped like in this pic (but I had not staff or "cape" although I am thinking how a big piece of tartan material would be great as a giant scarf for these winter storms) ... two scarves around each calf and knee area with long boot laces criss-crossing around and tied and another lace wrapped around and tied above that ... looks kind of primitive but this is my current kilt-wearing philosophy ... sort of use what's available to me - long lengths of warm cloth do the trick.




This type of weather makes me want to make a 'great kilt' ... I'd really like to try that out this winter
