I am waiting for some cold weather to test out wearing a long plaid over a kilt.

I have already found that wet and windy weather can be faced with a plaid, but so far there have been just a couple of light frosts in the morning which I can cope with in tee shirt, not even shirt sleeve order so far.

The experiment will be mostly subjective - though I do have a long probe thermometer which could put numbers into the situation, should it arrive.

We used to get snow, enough to make snowmen with our children - well - I used to create snow dinosaurs and Rupert the Bear. I wonder if my grandson will ever have the opportunity to see my snow sculpture.
