Thats right-Carharts n' rockies!

"Winter"- BAD WORD!!

supposed to start snowing here beginning Wednesday

Yeah, I already bought a Carhartt Coat and Jacket. I am looking at their socks and Coveralls. Believe it or not a local store in Austin stocks their complete line, Sportsman Warehouse.

Here too- already quite chilly out- I hate it!!(and I have lived here all my life- I should be used to it!) :cry:

It almost feels like Winter is just about here. We cool down to 90 today. We'll have to break out the jackets any day now.

Upper sixties here in NE Texas by Thursday! Can't wait. It's been a pretty mild late summer since late August. Can't imagine how cold it will be this winter with such cools temps this early.

As far as winter gear goes, when i hauled flatbed all I needed was a good Carhartt jacket, wooly head thingy (what are they called?), long johns for waayyy up north, and work gloves. I sweat very easily, so I don't like to bundle up too much.

Called a Chook

Who did you call,yoopr?

terrylamar, try living in western Pennsylvania all your life, you will then know what a snowy and cold winter is. Haha, my uncle lives in Texas and says all they can do in the summer is sit inside in the air conditioning. Iowa I think is where you said, they get cold temps but not as much snow as if you were closer to the lakes/mountains or oceans, so you won't have to worry about too much snow there. Just hope you don't have to drive through PA in January...........bad roads plus bad weather......... not a good combination. Best of luck.

I had the good fortune to pick parents that live in Texas. I live in South Central Texas. Dallas and parts further North are winter enough for me. I don't really mind the cold as much as I am ill prepared for it.
