With me fox fur, well any kind of fur to be honest always leads to fun. I haven’t visited a fur farm before but the idea is certainly intriguing!

YES! It’s getting in the 30’s with regularity! Can’t wait to explore outside in a full-length but more so, looking forward to seeing the wife in a full-length fur in a month or so!

This is really nice for your wife and you of exploring the street in your furs. We love fur and we are more happy when we have the possibility of wear everyday.

+22C here today and tomorrow...  Ill take it knowing the next several months are just going to be brutal... never did get out in the raccoon last week, that -5C turned out to be +2...   I don't see anything below +2 overnight in the next 2 weeks of the long range... I always joke about the weather up here.. sunburn today, fur coat tomorrow...

But I guess the new foxes need some time to grow and real low temperature to get the dense fur 😊. Lets hope they really freeze 😈.

Absolutely, low temperature for enjoying our furs and stroke big and voluminous fox furs. Adorable of wear them during freezing time...

-5c here this morning.. drove to the park this morning and got in a quick walk in full length black mink and black fox hat...  Tonites low is -7 good excuse to pull out raccoon coat and hat... Daytime highs are still close to 10c though... My fur season has kind of started I guess... Well see it could be 15 again in a week the way it goes... I always say.. fur coat today, shorts tomorrow...

Winnipeg, Canada.. about 60 miles north of the north dakota border... 

We're all over the place for temps as well... -6 tonite, 7 for the high, next Saturday they are calling +12 for the high, so more than double the normal...  Ill see how it is when I wake up... as much as I like getting that early walk in, -6 is still pretty warm for me for fur coat weather.. I was almost to warm this morning in the mink at -5, so ill be sweating in raccoon....

Got it. Headed to Ottawa in September. I suppose it’s too warm in September

I was out and about today whilst wearing my ankle length mink coat.  I had crossed the road opposite one of Edinburgh’s five star hotels when an Italian looking lady exited whilst also wearing an ankle length mink.  We saw each other and she waved at me. Of course, I waved back!

Oh definately WAY to warm.. Id actually still say you would expect temps well into the mid 20Cs or tickling 30 still in September...  even october here in Winnipeg its been into the 20s and theres been days I can still wear shorts and a long sleeve fleece or similar... last nite they called -5 for the low, but its +2 right now..

Oh this is really nice of see you have a good temperature looking for the comeback of your fur and enjoying it. Fabulous of meet other fur lovers... I hope for you in their next fur walk you meet more ladies or men's wear furs.

Personally I have not this luck from France, I hope a cold winter season after this soft autumn and rainy days.

Got out for a sold 25 minute walk this morning in my full length raccon coat/hat.. when I left home it was only 0C, by the time I got to the park it had warmed to +2 already, but the sun wasn't up and it was still dark out... There was a bit of a light breeze, so it cooled things down a little... only crossed paths with an older woman who was walking with hiking sticks..It was definately nice to go for a walk all wrapped up in a fur coat again, but no snow, and still pretty warm out there... hopefully it cools off a bit...

Are you walking around the Forks area?

No, I usually goto Assiniboine Park.. there is a quiet area where the flower garden area is.. if I want I can continue my walk further along the main road to the skating rink and come back... I tend to avoid anything remotely near downtown Winnipeg.. definately not a nice place to be hanging out in the dark.. even during daylight its pretty sketchy...

Well middle of November and its back to +10 highs here and lows at +4 and +5... Temperatures are a solid 10-12 degrees above what they should be for this time of year... there still rain in the forecast too... maybe by this time next week it will be back on the minus side in the morning...

The way the climate is changing I dunno anymore... North America's climate is so messed up now.. one day its 10 degrees above normal the next day your in the middle of a snowstorm.. Denver got 18 inches of snow last week, 2 days later it was in the 20C for the highs... I havent even seen a single snowflake in Winnipeg yet... Many users on here talk Chicago being a fur hotspot... I can imagine even if the temperature isnt bad, the cold wind off the lake must make it that damp wet miserable.. probably worse than the dry -25 stuff we get up here... normally when its that cold up here, there generally isn't much wind...

I went to Denver after their biggest snow storm in years back in March 2024.  Spent a week there.  Snow still on the ground most of the week I was there.  Not a single fur, not even trim to be seen.  Not even at their largest shopping mall near Denver.  I have been there when it was near zero and below, nope, nothing to bee seen.

Odd, I was in aspen and vail Colorado first week of March 2024 and especially in aspen, there was a multitude of furs to be seen. Mostly mink but the rare fox jacket or even a lynx trimmed fur here and there.

yeah this trip would hopefully be aimed for January or February of 2025 as I hope to go during the coldest time of the year. Some places I’ve considered is Jackson hole WY, Vermont just in general, big sky, Bozeman, and Missoula MO, and we have also looked at going back to aspen CO. All very fur friendly areas.
