Much the same here in Lotus Land, Danielle. The climate in Medicine Hat is the same as much of the rest of the country and that means cold in winter, but I left that behind over 30 years ago, and 'cold' now means I put a fleece vest under my nylon shell. As for boots...! I pitched my last pair about six years ago, and just wear sneakers if there's any snow. I'm actually headed out for a couple of hours, to visit my Dad, and do a bit of shopping, but will be back likely around 5:30 or 6 -- Ok, so about 3 hours. Don't spend all your (virtual) money in one place
