It's all the putting on and taking off, that's the thing

It takes forever to go anywhere in this weather. Have you noticed that? That's the part I don't like. It's been perfectly fine for walking around today, started out a little chilly but warmed up to 20 by mid afternoon, no wind, just a little spit of snow, icy sidewalks but I seem to bounce just fine. Invigorating, in a word. But it takes half an hour to get all stuffed into sweaters and boots and scarves and mittens and big fat coats and hats and actually get out the door, and another half an hour to get in and all unstuffed at the end. That's why I like summer better. In the summer, if you want to go out you just go out.

Reminds me of the 'cloak room' at Washburn Elementary School in Duluth. It took the first grade teacher about 45 minutes to unbundle all of the kids in the morning, and another 45 at the end of the school day to bundle 'em all back up for the walk home.
