Well I can certainly understand why the capote was so popular in the Rockies fur trade.
 Pretty warm and dry in nearly 2ft of snow.

As much as I like Id, you sure can keep your winters.

There was a time when I lived for the winters.  The colder and the snowier, the better.  I looked forward to the first snow of the year and hated to see the last snow melt.
But that was B. A.
Before Arthritis.

I was the same way back in my skiing days. Don't have the legs for it anymore.

I think I may be starting to see a pattern here with advancing age and colder weather!    :laffing

So THAT's where all our snow is!  None here.  Nada.  Zilch.  Rain on top of rain.  Bah!

I used to do a lot of cross country skiing, snow shoeing and, of course, dog sledding.  I still have the skis, up in the rafters of the garage, but they haven't see any use in 22 years.

Whether you believe it's caused by people or by the sun, global warming is real....
