Yesterday the weather here in Ottawa fast-forwarded from mid-November to mid-February. We have now had many hours of snow, freezing rain, slush, and then, this morning, a great melting, and more rain. I was prepared for this, equipment-wise, having a pair of insulated rubber knee-high boots, but have found them to be too large, a size 11 to my size 9 1/2. It's a good workout for my calves but very uncomfortable. When do I get to move to the south of France?
