Happiness is a new winter coat (or something)
Le Mont
James got me this today in black, minus the fur trim. I stepped outside in it, and I can happily confirm that all of the great testimonials I'd had from people who swear by them against Canadian / New England / other horrific winters worldwide are absolutely true. Basically, we have been wearing incompetent coats for the past three years because, simply put, British winters did not require the same kind of coat that Northeast US winters require. It had been so many years since I'd had to think about this that finding my stylish black wool Danish coat insufficient guard against the elements was rather a let-down.

Ultimately, it's a consequence of a warm trough in the Pacific blocking a lot of the rain that would fall on the west coast of the US, then pushing it up north over Canada where it joins the stream that falls on east coast to midwest north.

You have our water; we'd like it back. (@)_(@)

I wish it would go back; we've had a couple of very wet days.
