Congratulations, Texannie, you made me go buy two pairs of shoes today. I felt like a failure at Female 101, and it turned out that Colossus has more good shoes than I do, and he was ashamed to realize that he'd never known me to buy a pair of shoes. So I made him drive me to the shoe store and I got 1) a solid pair of insulated, waterproof winter boots for the impending icebox sandwich that the Farmer's Almanac insists is about to descend on the midwest (I've worn my old pair since college. No lie); and 2) a cutecutecute pair of black pumps with gray and black plaid inlay and laces. Perfect with black slacks.

I can be a shoe person, too. It's just that the whole experience was painful. Now I have to learn to like it LOL.

GAL, you are in the midwest? For some reason I thought you were in CA. If you were nearby, I probably could have made those pesky cakes for you.

I have several pairs of winter boots, and I don't even stay anywhere cold in the winter, but just in case I would happen to be home in the winter, and it snowed, I would be prepared.

GAL I am in the Boston area so it sounds like we will be freezing together. At least I know that I will be in good company when I am freezing this winter.

Dfennessy, have you cased portable generators yet? We gave away our two generators a few years ago, so we're now looking at a 7000 watt Honda generator ($1000.00 at Sam's go figure). We're also going to get a portable hot water heater and self-contained room heater (the situation that hit Colossus' parents in Arkansas earlier this year really was instructive on what one needs for a serious outage).

Sugar, I'm in Indiana we're all going to freeze together. I wouldn't have it any other way, though, I'm a true-blue midwesterner. I wouldn't know how to live anywhere else.

My sis lives in Boston but she is rarely there in the winter, she works in Kenya so she can avoid most of what Boston gets. But I remember her winters out on the Cape, whooo-buddy the kind of cold you guys get there is a whole nother level of cold - we don't get the iceburg winds whipping off the ocean. The only time in my life I wore a fur coat inside-out was when I visited her at Thanksgiving one year. It was truly beautiful at the Pilgrim's monument, but I remember the cold MUCH more vividly. It was deep and abiding. I would have generators, oil tanks and electric backup full time if I were you LOL.

Dipo, I have three pair of Uggs type boots, which do not count in any way, shape or form as snow boots. I had one pair on yesterday in the house after I packed my ankle-length cuffed ones to take to Texas for the winter to wear as slippers. Then I have another brand new pair in a box waiting for the tall ones to wear out. Did I mention that the last pair I wore out lasted almost thirty years?

I am too, Dogdoc, but if it helps I only spent $60.00. They might get me to buy shoes, but they can't knock the bargain ho out of me. 2-fers at a clearing warehouse are the bomb.

It can't be good when the words used for the Great Lakes regions include "brutal" and "frigid" multiple times!

Ya, when you consider that they're using those words in comparison to what you're used to . . . it equals "we're hosed."

Bwahaha! Can't argue with that, GAL. We had 150 inches of snow last year, so we might as well buy our snow shoes and build igloos this year! (The kids who drive snowmobiles to school loved it, though. :-) )
