Also, my round wooden shield functions well as an umbrella.
I remember, many a year ago, using an unfinished scutum as a snow shovel.

So far, that would be the week after it snowed at Scarborough, Apr 14, 07 (if I have the right album). Darn cold, even for my time travel clothes (pre garb) back then. I almost put on my wooly pully for that day, but decided instead for the llama parka....and so started my pathway into garb.

Generally, the solution has been to add things to the garb closet that supports my character. One year I bought a buffalo cape, last time the coyote parka. As time goes on, I look to add more things to the closet to enable my character to be in cold weather...........feel sorry for my belly dancing friends.

Hot weather is uncomfortable, yes, but not critical since my character is in light clothing.

Which fair was closed by 10" of snow right before Halloween?

PaRF had to cancel their closing weekend. There is a link to photos of some of the damage in the PaRF thread...

Given the extremes, I pick cold weather over hot....and this is coming from someone who hates being cold. Here in Texas the heat just sucks the very life out of you. You can always add layers ya know... Being prepared is the key. I'm the designated 'watch the weather' monitor when it starts getting about 2 weeks till Faire weekend.

Last time I planned on going out of Scarby we got rained out. What year was that? It would have resulted in my lavender toga fairy costumes turning to an entry for the nearest wet toga contest.

Highland weekend last year at TRF was chilly. Highland weekend this year; currently looks like its going to be chilly at night and in the morning getting in the nice and mild range during he day. I hope not oo warm, I so love to wear my cloaks.
Normal? What's that?

PARF in the thick of the snow on saturday. Saddest part was it was well on it's way to melting by sunday afternoon.

That's beautiful.  Prepared enough, I would have loved to walk around in that!
