    First Snow in my County Donegal

    Well, today was the first serious snowfall of the year here in Coeur d Alene so I thought that a good enough excuse to show off my County Donegal from House of Edgar. Since there was a recent thread about kilts and sweaters, I thought I'd toss on a navy sweater and Balmoral to top things off.





    I call this the "Snowy Hamish!"

    Great hat, wonderful kilt, magnifacient snow, and all that in Coeur D' Alene.

    Phil,

    That is a great combination! I too love the 'sweater and kilt' look and have just ordered Arran sweaters in black and navy blue to augment the green and beige ones I already have.

    The "Snowy Hamish" is as near perfect as I have yet seen - very well done!

    And, the beard! I did not know that you have also grown one. It is looking good.

    [PS: You have more snow there than we have probably had in the last three/four years together. Alas, global warming has just about put paid to the whiteouts we used to have not so many winters ago.]

    Great look Phil! While I enjoy the snow for a short time (like XMas eve and Xmas day), I will not miss the 6 months of winter we had in Chicago last year.
