<p>@ Colly - It used to be cold here. I swear. Plus, it’s cold when we go into the mountains for our magnet program trips and they force us to stay outside all day.
PLUS, I live in Minnesota over the holidays usually.
Our Maryland winters may be pathetic, but when it DOES get icy/snowy, it gets bad here.</p>
<p>Either way, I think everyone has given valid suggestions.</p>
<p>To the OP - rain boots are really fun and there are some stores that sell liners for them that are rather cheap and not made out of fur, so you can remove them when it isn’t freezing. I dunno if you’re on a budget/against killing animals, but I thought I’d mention it. I’m a cheap hippie vegetarian. =]</p>
