Maybe Next Winter?

We are experiencing a really weird weather this year.  Looks like this is the first year, in a very long time, this place hasn't had snow yet till now. It's almost in the middle of December, and it feels just like spring.  I'm kind of sad because I really do want to experience a white Christmas this year.  Although I really am not looking forward to celebrating Christmas, I just want it to snow.  I know I have said it so many times before, that I hate it when it gets too cold because I am not used to it, but I didn't mean for it to actually not totally snow when we're already supposed to be getting some.  What is going on in the world?  It seems like it's changing every year - and the change is actually scaring me.

Anyway, I was kind of hoping to get a really nice winter coat this year since I really haven't bought one before.  I decided to hold off because I was pregnant during the first winter, and last year, I still had some "baby weight" left, so I chose not to buy something yet.  I didn't want to go for a bigger size coat knowing that I could still lose some pounds, which I had, that's why I'm glad I held off when I did.  I was looking forward to getting one this year, but looks like I might not be needing it at all.  Too bad because I was looking at this  patagonia tres parka coat, and it's really nice and durable one.  I know it's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.  I mean, it's perfect for the coldest times of the year because it's waterproof and windproof.  And the Wind Chill factor during winter?  Oh, that's the killer right there!  The wind is what makes it even more colder, especially when it's snowing, that's why a really nice coat is a must.  And if you want a nice one, you know you have to really spend on it.  But, I honestly think it's not splurging money if you want to buy something nice because you actually need it, not because you just want to have it for other purposes.

Well, if not now, maybe some other time.  Or, I can still go ahead and get one and just hold on to it till I need it.  Yet again, maybe not.  For the meantime, I'll settle with what I have.  Anyway, like what I said, we still haven't had snow yet, and looks like we're not be getting any, so I really am not worried about going out in layers of clothes right now.  We'll see here in the next couple of weeks, though.
