Low at night, I mean. There's a huge difference between it going "all the way down" to -2 at 2AM or it getting UP to -2 at 3PM.

We have -2*F highs...

Oh my...
Yeah...-2 or -3 would have been the "low", High would have be about 10-15 or something. Usually our winters aren't that cold. I whine starting in the 30's. I think this last winter the low was like 20-23, it may have gotten as far down as 18 one night...but that's about it. The bugs this year were HORRIBLE as a result. I'm wondering how warm this winter will be.

Oh, poor southie. Do you need to borrow a coat?

Bugs sound miserable though. You can keep them too.

Coats...I got covered
Got the light windbreaker, two jackets after that for varying degrees of cold/windiness, rain coat, trench coat, quilted coat and then the 3 degrees of "winter coat" - short peacoat, long peacoat, snow (ski jacket).

Don't worry....I'm not coat obsessed...just well prepared.

I suppose I can't tease you too much. I have five jackets and two winter coats. Can't pass up them thrift store deals...

Yeah...and like Kiki...we still have mosquitos! I swear they are even more vicious now!!! Also, we have a pear tree out front and it's attracting all types of hornets, etc. If anyone doesn't know what a cicada killer is...look it up....we got them!

I have a new respect for anyone that puts up with those.

We have Marshalls/HomeGoods which are like a second level/third level "outlet" store. Our local one recently got in a shipment of Northface....My hubby looked on horrified as I was "I'll take this one, and this one and this one....."

Hey....half off! Can't beat it!
