I had heard everyone say I would be fine, but I had lived in Buffalo for 24 years, and I know how cold things are there, so I worried. Everyday I went out kilted with no problems once so ever. Then on Friday we went to the movies and while the movie was going on we got 6 to 7 inches, so I went home to snowblow for my father. here are some pictures:
The kilt was a black SWK economy, and I was toasty warm the whole time.
So, that does that mean the Buffalo Kilt Night is still on for next Saturday? Looks like it will just about freezing with a chance of snow.
Frankly, it was about time Buffalo had some snow. Jamestown, Dunkirk/Fredonia, Eden-Angola, and Hamburg have already had 1-2 feet (at once), and that paltry six inches was all Buffalo has gotten so far. That's barely worth getting a shovel out for!
Sorry, I spent my first 27 years in the snowbelt within the snowbelt (south of the I-90 ridge), getting buried in amounts that equalled the fabled "snows of Buffalo," and then waiting for the township plows to come by and clear the roads (and block the driveway in the process). Buffalo has been a disappointment so far.
I spent the weekend snowshoeing in the NW PA woods, and even with temps in the 20s-30s my UK Workmans was warm (a little too warm - I had to limit my upper body clothing to a t-shirt and polyester sweatshirt (Hunter Orange) to keep from overheating). The only times my legs got cold were when one of the 'modesty snaps' made contact (any suggestions on how to fix that?) and when I wasn't too careful bringing up my back foot - snow comes off toe of shoe, hits opposite knee between gaiters and kilt .

Lancaster not Buffalo, but same thing
My parents live in a suburb lancaster but I think South buffalo got about the same amount.
Kilt night is still on Darcey McGee's we will be there between 8:30 and 9 on that saturday I am hoping that is early enough to find a comfortable place to hang out. I will bump the post up this Friday and we will try to keep it going.
I was much more comfortable in my SWK plain black kilt in the cold (could be the heavier material), but I much prefer wearing my USA Kilt Scottish National, so that is probably what I will be wearing. I will just make sure I have a coat to hold it down if needed.

I still think you snow-bound guys are a lot hardier in the cold than I am. We've been having lovely temps here in Texas, & I'm sitting here typing with cold hands. Must get some coffee...

So what you're saying is that you wouldn't survive up here on a day like today. Woke up to -18C temps (0F). It's a little chilly now, so I think I'll finally break out the winter jacket when I head off to work. I might even see if I can find my gloves. :mrgreen:

I hear ya Al G. woke up this morning it was the same here. They say tonite that it's going down to -23, with no warming trend tomorrow.
Guess it's getting time to break out the Mukluks and touque. Wonder how that will look with a kilt.
