Verses on the North Wind

[Lallans]

It's when your tires freeze flat on the bottom that you know it's really cold. That driving experience is usually preceeded by the sound of your shrunken pistons clanging like bell clappers inside their cylinders (insert joke here).

However I will give props to BC that they have been in an arctic flow of air that was intended to come here but got misdirected in precisely the opposite east-west direction. In other words, BC is getting our weather. I'm so sorry!

It's not so bad. Little Man and I went out and made snow men today and he made a snow angel too, snow balls were thrown. Without the blistering winds of the other day, the kilt was very comfortable. One neighbour (I don't know his name but) with a Scot's accent commented as we built a snow man that it was good weather for kilt wearing. My warm tush agrees. All in all a pretty good time. The rain is supposed to come in a matter of hours which will bring us back to bitter sweet norms.

That was charming bit of verse, thanks xman.

As for cold weather and the kilt, I hear the Highlands get rather chilly in the winter. Garments are usually appropriate to their climate of origin, ergo a kilt should be fine when the temperature drops... as long as you bundle up the rest of you warmly too!

So apt and so true.

Seems like people just do not understand.
