    The overnight low here was -39C with a -53C windchill.
    I hate to admit it, but I've decided that I do have a temperature limit when wearing a kilt. Been wearing jeans for the past 2 weeks due to the cold.

    It's in the low 50s today and I'm freezing my butt off. I can't even fathom subzero temps!

    And, AKG, I'm guessing your wife needed a handtruck to wheel you home after the pic. Looks like a cotton kilt....

    Somewhere in Arizona there may be a temperature sign with a minus feature...but I doubt it...

Oh and here's a pic from last winter....I actually talked the wife into going out and taking it!

    I'm impressed. Granted, easily, but impressed none the less. How much 'anti-freeze' did ya have in ya?

    Man, talk about global warming... Yesterday, 63 F, today snow, 20 F!?? Tomorrow, more snow. Come on, we are in the midwest, when it snows, people die here.

    Here in Boston the weather has been perfect for the kilt. Daytime highs near 40 f. Nights are about 0 to +5. Jeans are one 10 oz layer of about two yards of cotton denim. Kilt is 8 yards of wool, wool kilt hose, nice and toasty, when worn with a long sleeve T-shirt as a top. When the wind kicks above 20 MPH, I throw on a cardigan hoodie. But then my metabolism is kinda high, the spouse refers to me as the high temperature hot water bottle. Spouse wants the thermostat at 60 degrees, and I tend to leave it at 50 degrees. Oh well, I just get used to being hot.
    I found a Winter in North Dakota to be cool. I had three nights that I couldn't wear me kilt, as it was thermal clothing city to go anywhere on those nights that it got reeeeaal cold.

    Well, if you're talking about single-malt 'anti-freeze' and the like, not a drop. But in all honesty I wasn't hanging around out there for any longer than it took the shutter to snap a few times!

    Haven't you boys heard of long socks? they're these really fuzzy, warm things that go to the knees and help you stay toasty in the chilly air. It's about 47 or so here, and a little breezy, so we're all about to freeze.

    Yeti, you can bring String with you if you move south. We like girls.
