I just leave the parka hanging by the front door. I noticed the other day that my Sorel pacs are also sitting under the parka. My snow shovel is still on the front porch. What's the point of moving them? I don't mind winter if we're not in some Arctic vortex. We were spared that last winter but, on the other hand, we had a Big Snowstorm Thanksgiving weekend and the city shut down for a couple of days. Sidewalks stayed 4" above the concrete. Walking in the street was the thing to do. I still despise hot weather (like 90+ degrees). The big plows were saviors--even they had a tough time for a while. You can generally dress for the cold and I have some high-powered winter clothes, but in summer you can't run around naked even if that were permissable.

@ellens, One of the things I so appreciated from our years in Duluth was the ability of the city to clear the heavy snowfall as quickly as they do. In my area, a light snowfall closes schools because we lack that equipment...I might also add, people here how no clue about how to drive in snowy, icy weather. And yes, I was also very impressed how families just layered up and all went out in winter despite the snow accumulations. I am though taken aback at your suggestion that running around naked isn't a good idea on those incredibly hot days....are absolutely sure about this???? lol

@ellens.. I'm reading your post and visualizing cool weather. It's almost 4 pm here and 90°. Send us poor folks in the west some fall weather, no need for snow, we need to chill!
