Snowed, well iced really, in and loving it!

It appears winter is still here and decided to not let us forget that over the weekend. We have been enjoying unseasonably warm days during the month of December and January, well except for the freak blizzard in early December. that is until Friday. Mother Nature decided that enough is enough and it was time for a gentle, scratch that...HARSH, reminder that it is January and you people must wear your coats! I think that is what it really boils down to. I might be speaking for myself only, but I personally HATE wearing a coat, and a hat and gloves and scarves, etc. This is left over from my childhood where one did not EVER leave the house without a coat of some kind and at least one of the above mentioned accessories. A jacket was even required in the summer months because (and I quote) "you just never know what could happen". Now I do keep a hat, gloves and blanket in my car (well, not in my new car yet, but in my old car always...I'm still stocking the new one), however I rarely take a coat places. This is my defiant "I am an adult and you can't make me" streak shining through. Well, fine Mother Nature. I am wearing my coat. And I have a hat and gloves in my car. I raise the white flag in defeat. However, be warned, I am NOT purchasing a raincoat for spring!
