White Fox Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Man, it is supposed to be fur wearing weather ready to begin this time of year. Instead we have weather coming that is up to 27 degrees C. Instead of fur, we will be heading into the house to get away from the fierce heat. Strange.

Guest Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 It's snowing in the mountain passes here It was 40F last night and will be in the upper 30's tonight!!! OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrBrGr Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 We've had a couple of nights in the upper 30's here already, but until next weekend, our lows are going to be more like 50 (F). Then, upper 30's and lower 40's - if one is to believe in the weather forecast . . . At any rate, the colder weather will be welcomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 We're getting snow Sat and Sunday on the valley floor. " title="Applause" /> I'm wearing my coyote vest and my beaver lined coyote mittens fishing in the mountains tomorrow (Sat). " title="Applause" /> I may never come back...........

WinnipegFur Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 As much as I am eager to climb into my coats... I must admit I HATE winter... the weather here for the next few days is just forecast to rain, and cool (mid 40s for highs and lows) typical autumn weather for here... I am guessing a month til consistent fur weather here... then again, Ive also seen it not snow until December beleive it or not... But our outlook for winter is calling "numbingly cold" for the prairies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrBrGr Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 If you put any stock in "The Farmer's Almanac," all of us can look forward to making use of our furs this winter. It's supposed to be the harshest one in years . . . Don't know if I'm ready for that - ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGalanos Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It's been a tad warmer than normal here the past couple weeks. I have worn my faux furs (great when the temp drops below 50 F), but I have not taken any of my furs out of storage yet. Tentatively planning to take my fur jackets out of storage next weekend ... We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelley and kevin Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I've been wearing my sheared Beaver to work every morning the last two weeks. The weather has been cool enough but by afternoon it warms up a bit. Hoping for much cooler weather as I've got a couple of other friends in storage that are begging to get out.

JGalanos Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I mowed for probably the next to last time this evening. It was so chilly I could see my breath. Brrr. Definitely picking up the mink jackets this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worker 11811 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 We just got a call from the furrier this afternoon. Our fur coat is coming back from storage! They called us up to be sure our address is still good. She said it would be sent out today and it should be here by Wednesday! I can hardly wait!

brandy-uk Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 That's it.. I have had enough of this British weather.. it is just rain rain rain.. we had a small covering of frost last week and that was it... I am going to the north of scotland next week..... and if I don't find some cold weather to force me to wear my furs.. then look out Canada.. here I come.. kisses Brandy xxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGalanos Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 It was unseasonably warm here today (high around 68 F), but I think this has probably been my furriest fall ever. I started wearing my faux furs in September, my fur jackets in October, and I will pick up my full length furs this weekend (with tentative plans to wear one of them to the theatre Saturday evening). I've worn my mahogany mink jacket over two dozen times already. It's become a favorite of mine -- A richly colored, fingertip length luxury garment .

FurLoverinFL Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Well it was so cold in Florida yesterday (Tues 11/18) that there were furs out and about. It's pretty unusal to be waiting in the security lines at the Fort Lauderdale airport with a lady in a sheared blond mink coat behind you and another wearing a coyote jacket just a few feet behind us. FLinFL ...and yes, I did compliment her on her coat and she was appreciative, but did not offer to let me touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy-uk Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well the Uk news claims that last night was going to be the last 'frost - free' morning until after x-mas... at least i will be able to run around my garden first thing in the morning wearing nothing but my furs.. he he he kisses brandy xxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worker 11811 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 We got about a foot of snow last Sunday evening and it hasn't gone above freezing since. My wife and I decided to eat out Sunday. When we left the house it was about 33º F. and it was snowing lightly. By the time we left the restaurant it was coming down pretty heavily. I started up the engine and started to brush the snow off the car when my she said, "Darn it! I knew I should have worn the fur! There has been some light snow today. We probably got another inch. As long as we have our fur and our Bears, we won't mind if it snows another ten feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGalanos Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Darn it! I knew I should have worn the fur! Yes, she should have! Restaurants are great places to wear fur. I wore my fisher coat to dinner last night. When I walked in the lady at the reservations desk (for whom I think English was a second or third language) looked up, smiled big, and said "Warm!" Naturally, I had to agree with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbass45601 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 OK central Ohio, it's really cold. Low 20's with windchill. I just moved into my first place, an apartment in a building that was made in 1854 and hasn't been really worked on since 1950 from the way it looks. Old school box furnace that is run by gas and very drafty. So before I moved I looked around and found an old beaver coat with a hood that I wear every night and a rabbit blanket about 6x4 feet for about 50 bucks. It's helping, I could run the heater a lot more but with me being really "on my own" for the first time I think I'm learning what being a cheap Scotsman (last name McCord) is.

Worker 11811 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 With the price of natural gas and electricity going so high, these days, you're probably better off spending a couple-few hundred bucks on some furs. If you save $50 off your gas bill every month your investment will be repaid in just a few months! Plus you reduce your fossil fuel emissions too! Double bonus for the environment!

FrBrGr Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 21 degrees (F) in Pittsburgh right now, with snow on the ground. Yowsuh, yowsuh, yowsuh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worker 11811 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 It's 30º F. right now. Light snow coming down as we speak. There doesn't appear to be much chance of it letting up. Plus, I live near the Great Lakes. The water is still warm which holds the air and ground temperatures up. As winter wears on, the water will freeze and winter will REALLY ramp up to full intensity! Some winters we get over 100 inches of total snow accumulation! (That's more than 2.5 meters!) If this keeps up we'll be on track to beat our record of 145 inches!

brandy-uk Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 It is a miserable 9 degrees, slightly misty but warm... I am going to leave the fridge door open tonight.. maybe I maight get a chance to wear my furs when i go for milk for my tea..! kisses brandy xxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
