Your post has me smiling, @becsbuddy, because it reminds me of those two years teaching primary chldren in MN. It seemed we spent half the day undressing and redressing the children as they arrived and left for the day during the frigid winter months.

I give so much credit to those who live in those areas of harsher winter conditions for doing whatever it takes to get outdoors! Bet a lot of our walkers were nodding in absolute agreement with what you posted!
