What Do You Hate Most About Winter Clothes? Maine Weather Updates

This off-center selfie is the direct result of an unruly, oversize winter coat hood. I had to share it with you because misery loves company. It was freezing cold and windy, and I have to wait outside with the other kindergarten parents when I pick our girls up from school. So I put my hood up for the first time since buying this coat, and found that it is a completely ornamental, non-functioning apparatus.

Reasons that I hate my winter coat:

HUGE hood that covers my eyes
Wide hood that creates a wind tunnel around my head, whisking away any body heat
Static electricity

This is my second winter coat this year because my zipper broke on the first one. We probably have 5 coats with zippers that need to be replaced, and aint nobody got time for dat! Since it was after Halloween, there wasn't much of a selection available. However, I was happy with my choice until recently when I needed the coat to function for true winter wear. It is not up for the task. I am forced to admit that I have a floppy, flaccid, failure of a hood and I will dig out a hat. I'm sure that I will lose that hat within the first 72 hours of finding it and it will then join all of my right-hand gloves in whatever clothing limbo they exist in.

The coldest Maine weather in a while has arrived!
