  QOTW: like many of you, I'm not picky at this point. We have more than enough snow for this winter already.  I'll go anywhere warm, that doesn't involve putting layers of clothes/hats/mittens/snowboots.  It takes FOREVER for me and M to get out of the house these days, and he fights every piece of clothing I put on him.
