Winter in Sacto

Yep, it's a seasonal theme lately. And winter has definitely arrived. Not the typical rainy, grey winter that we expect, but rather a COLD winter.

Yes, COLD.

Because 28 degrees is 28 degrees is COLD no matter whether you're in New England, the Midwest, or even sunny Northern Cali.

Scooter apparel for mornings like this = wool knee socks, jeans, ankle boots, turtleneck, wool sweater, leather jacket, scarf, peacoat, gloves. And my hands were still white by the time I got to class for my Spanish final this morning.

Yes, Virginia, there IS cold weather in Northern California. Winter has arrived...
