When I lived in California, it was simply a matter of heavier windbreaker and a light head cover.<br /><br />It's not that I have arthritis.

I've never been colder or more depressed than the winter I spent in San Francisco--no insulation, no heaters to speak of, cold fog and endless waves of rain. <br /><br />Thanks for the excellent capture of a mood and time in your piece. Enjoyed it.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673238941836727429.post-83965668865879150402011-01-08T15:30:40.947-08:002011-01-08T15:30:40.947-08:00Dr. Isabelle,

West Coast stuff is much milder.<br /><br />But we're spoiled by the mildness. At least I am. There are snow sporters here who pray for snow and involve themselves with it.<br /><br />Enjoy your season!
