The day before yesterday we woke to 25F in our little corner of the pacific northwest. I went out to the barn, a distance of about 200+ feet from the house, no breeze but the weather here is more than a little damp. My wife opened the front door of the house and asked me, "aren't you cold?" I said no, just a little cool on the back of my knees. We get a little colder here because of our elevation and being about 30+ miles inland. My middle son(27) moved to Chicago back in September. He's planning on going to school there. Not a kilt wearer, but on the whole a good kid.

Hey Cormacmacguardhe, we had 25F for the whole day today, nice snowfall tonight, but probably will not stick. We did get to have fun sledding down a hill close to our house!
If you would like, PM me if you would like to know somebody local as a contact for your son, or if he needs anybody local for help or advice, feel free to have him contact us. Of course, if he becomes interested in a kilt night, definitely contact me!

Hey all,
We are visiting some freinds in North Dakota for the holliday. Being N.D. the weather is a balmy 20-25 F. with nice breezes. We went to a Dickens Festival last night. Temps fell like a rock when the sun went down. I, being a little crazy, wore my SWK Blackwatch, wolly socks, warm jacket and Royal Stewart scarf. After the umpteenth "are you a tru Scotsman under that kilt?" I figured a good reply. A Scot is tough, may be crazy and is more than a little frugal but he is NOT STUPID!
Lots of long pauses and giggles. My dearly beloved said there were lots of strange loks as I walked away.

Keeping my toes, nose, and fingers warm is the hardest part for me. Now don't mention the wind that does get me to wish I had a heavier weighted kilt on.
