I'm Cold!

So for the last 8 years I have lived in Southern California where the weather is fabulous and a balmy 90 degrees this time of year. But today I got a dose of reality since being back in WI since June. October is cold! Today it started snowing...and then hailing...and then snowing again. It makes me wonder...why do people choose to live here? IF it weren't for the closeness of family and the free rent...Lord, knows I'd be on a beach right now!

Here is my new winter coat. The 3/4 length sleeve numbers I was rocking in SoCal weren't cutting it anymore!
