"there's no such thing as bad weather,

there's only bad gear," a wisonsin acquaintance recently said this to me, as a means of illustrating the finer qualities of northern weather.  hmmm...after having read this and this over at a cup of jo, i was fairly convinced we might try to raise the mms to be somewhat more nordic* than his momma.

*a boy i knew in college, who happened to be named bjorn and happened to be from norway, advised i spend increasing increments of time daily braving the ridiculous minnesota winter in just a t-shirt and shorts.  i did not take his advice.

so, when yesterday necessitated a walk, an actual outdoor walk, i wasn't about to let this slow me down:

Wed
Wednesday's Forecast Image
  • Hi 50°
  • Lo 36°
Rain/Snow

i fear no forecast!

thankfully shua left me his raincoat, which despite his fine physique does provide a bit more ease for the mms.  i trudged through the rain, got my outdoor fix and get bragging rights for doing so.  cause really, i only like this advice now because i live so far south that it seems somewhat plausible in the winter.  get back to me this summer...

bt-dubs...total cliche: i walked in the door, hung up my coat and the sun came out.  norts!


how do you feel about the weather?  are you a winter hater or embracer-of-all-seasons?
