Jacket that will keep me really really warm. But the problem is that it is really really expensive. Good investment? Yes, indeed. Last winter killed me, but this time I will not let nature win over me!

Here in CT you will feel 0 - 25 F temps during the winter (which it starts getting cold in September and doesnt get warmer until mid April) Get temps up to high 80s durning June - August but with high humidity. Oh and you can expect every kind of storm out in the world to hit CT. We get them all. Hurricanes, Thunder Storms, Wind Storms, Rain that last for weeks, Tornadoes, Blizzards, Nor'easter, Hail, Sleet, Freezing rain, and Thunder snow.

Also our weather cant be predicted. In the early 90s we had a blizzard in march. About 2 feet of snow fell. Next day it was in the low 70s..... We have a saying about our weather in New England. If you don't like the weather, wait about 5 mins.

Ah, you're from CT?  My dad lives in Middlebury.  (Dad's side of the family is originally from MA, so I have family scattered between FL and New England.)  Every so often I hear stories from him about how he had to sit in traffic for hours because somebody's car slid on the icy roads and caused a big wreck.  Yeah, you guys can keep the ice & snow up north!  At least here we only have to deal with people who can't drive in torrential rains (or light showers).

Ah cool. I live in Shelton (near Bridgeport).You should see how people drive during the first snow storm. No one knows how to drive.

I lived in Vancouver for most of my life, and we RARELY got snow, so whenever it came people would just give up on driving and the city would shut down until someone cleared the snow away. So stupid.

I'm gunna leave you anyway.

The last time the state closed down because of snow was in in the 80s. We got like 5 feet of snow and too many cars were stuck on the highway.

That sounds like the UK. Half an inch of snow, and the entire country grinds to a halt. Literally.

Oh I cant wait for the snow! We always get a few snow storms here in NEPA and I love snowboarding. Its even better when the roads are still covered and no one else wants to drive on it. Though I think thats for the best, people here dont know how to drive when it rains let alone snows.

Interesting side note. A few weeks ago I was walking around outside.. I stopped, leaned my head back and let out a slow breath. Reminded me of the image I now use as my avatar.

Heheh.  I live in Australia so I intend to live through swealtering heat and live in A/C for most of the summer.  ^.^

Though, that being said, I would love to live in a place where it gets cold enough to snow.  Here, our winters are like 25 degrees Celcius.  :(

I have finally needed my light jacket at night while working on my car.  Still wearing shorts, though.

Jacket that will keep me really really warm. But the problem is that it is really really expensive. Good investment? Yes, indeed. Last winter killed me, but this time I will not let nature win over me!

Late to the game... but buy the damn jacket and then give it a name. Named object have increased power. Your jacket isn't as great as "Arcor THE jacket" with +2 damage against credit cards.

I love mid 10s weather. 20 is a bit hot for me. That being said, humid hot is kinda nasty and gross. I'll take a dry frozen cold any day. Wind sucks in cold weather. It's awesome in the 20+ weather IMO

We have snow now. People are morons when it comes to driving. It's ridiculous.
This is your home now. So take advantage of everything here, except me.

I feel like I should start wearing my gloves now too.
