You know, it's all about the humidity. Since moving to Oklahoma, we are now experiencing our second very rough winter. I have a coat, but I don't like. It doesn't fit well and believe it or not, it's covered in dog hair. And no matter how many times I hit it with the lint roller, it just looks like I've been rolling in the lint trap of the dryer.
99.99% of the time, I'm not cold. With relatively low humidity (compared to Louisiana), 25 degrees here is still not as cold as 40 degrees in Louisiana. So imagine my surprise today, when I was absolutely freezing. Yes, it was 24 degrees today, but we also had big, fat, sideways snow all day. With the humidity so high and the wind blowing 20-30 mph, it just chilled you to the bone.
My driver's side window froze shut, making it very difficult to go to the bank and get drive-through lunch. I opened the car door to get in and the snow blew all into the car. Oh and did I mention I was wearing a cotton sweater with a t-shirt underneath? My fault? Well, of course. But like I said, I can count on one hand the amount of time I've been cold since we moved here.
Since the low is supposed to be 15 tonight, I'll pull out the old lint trap tomorrow. If I can remember (and if the sun is up), I'll take pictures of the white covered yard in the morning. It was dark when I got home...so they'll have to wait. I don't think it's going anywhere for the time being.

Please blow some white stuff our way! No necessarily the freezing temp and wind. Lise' got some great snow toys for Xmas, and they're sitting by the door waiting for it to come down. It's forcasted at least once a week, but so far, nothing. She will be forever grateful!
I have to say - that was hilarious! I can totally picture you in sideways snow wearing a lint-trapped coat!! hee hee! :-D
