The eternal question of kilts in winter

[Jock Scot]

All I can remember was that in the Scottish snow with a snell wind blawing, my under areas were warm as toast but my hands were freezing !

This might be tempting providence, but we still get the wind, but snow is not as common as it used to be. Above a thousand feet maybe, lower than that snow is "almost" uncommon, We still store provisions though, just in case we get a real winter!
