why yes it is. it's very cold. so cold that today the high was 34 and i was actually warm at recess. now, i knew that i was going to have a hard time this winter since i am accustomed to mild, texas winters, but i had no idea i would be so ill-equipped.
allow me to explain.
the first morning i walked out to my car and found ice covering the windows, i thought "no problem. i have an ice scraper. i am so prepared." so the other day as i leave school and find 4 inches of snow covering my car, i pull out my handy dandy ice scraper. after a few strange looks from other teachers, my sweet, helpful coworker told me that wasn't going to cut it and came over to help me with this...
apparently just a scraper isn't enough. i need the dual sided brush & scraper.
i thought my feet were good to go since i had a pair of these. now don't get me wrong...i couldn't live without my uggs here. nothing, and i mean nothing keeps my toes toasty like these sheep skin wonders.
the problem however, lies in the fact that they are not water proof. standing outside in 4 inches of snow for 10 minutes, whilst scraping snow off my car with the aforementioned scraper leads to wet uggs which leads to cold toes. apparently i need these...
i'm certain that as i trek through the next 3 1/2 months of a kansas city winter, my list will grow even longer. but for now i shall say farewell. i hope you are staying warmer than me.
*side note...i have a really good husband that usually starts/scrapes my car for me in the morning. one of these occasions was at school, the other time i left really early in the morning. please do not call clay and leave him hate messages about taking care of his wife during this frigid season. rest assured, he does.

you're too funny! i just had to comment that I love your blog and I've been reading it for awhile....but I'm not a stalker!!! xoxo
nice try, but i will still call clay anytime i want and complain about the fact you are living in a snow-covered wilderness.
ps- how funny is it that this time last year you weren't even engaged yet?! just thinking about you lovebirds.
You need that remote car starter. You plug it into the ignition, push a handy dandy button from the warm comfort of your home and bingo. A started and locked car. I do think those grey boots scream teacher sexy. You will keep clay around a long time in those babies! Just wear those and hold the ice scraper! I hear that is how they make babies in KC. Just a little tip... See you tomorrow!!
