Giaviv -

We are from the NYC area and my DD is upstate, where there’s more snow. She had winter clothing, of course, but found she didn’t have a warm enough coat. She found a thrift shop in town and bought herself a ton of warm sweaters and a giant parka to put over a bunch of them. Her feeling was that if she bought in town the clothes would better reflect the weather. Fortunately, she’s a practical girl and $1 a sweater and $10 for a Lands End coat suited her budget and her personality.

They actually took 2 snow days this year. The funny thing is that we really didn’t think she would survive her first winter upstate (H used to drive her 4 blocks to HS when there was snow!) but she’s now a tour guide touting the beauty of the weather!
