Re: Chesapeake Regional

I don't get it. And by it I mean this Mid-Atlantic weather. I've lived here for my entire life and still don't understand our weather patterns. It was 60 degrees last week and I was out in shorts and a t shirt, but right now its been snowing the past 3 days. Now it is a wet snow, and only sticks to cars and the grass, normally melting during the day, but its still coming down white. I wish it were either always snowing or always warm. Then again a nice 60-70 degree climate year round would rock.

Enough of my rambling, as for my advice on attire:
1) It's not yet warm enough up here to only wear shorts. If you wear pants it will never be uncomfortable.
2) Don't rule out the long sleeve shirts. It's a nice medium between short sleeve and sweatshirt.
3) A heavy winter coat isn't necessary, however a nice hooded sweatshirt comes in handy, especially with the wet climate during this time of year.
4) Wear layers. Tshirt with a sweatshirt over it will normally take care of you.

All in all, and correct me anyone if I'm wrong, a good attire for this weather is pants with a tshirt and hooded sweatshirt. It REALLY does vary from day to day up here.

Hope I didn't just ramble on foolishly.
