I got these rainboots for my birthday a few years ago.  I was so excited about them.  I ordered them online from Target and they arrived in the mail.  I wore them everywhere!  Two days after I got them I left them outside on the back porch not thinking about my doggie (Roxy) being back there and I came home and they had a little tear in the top lining, which now served as a sentimental reminder of her presence.  Just over this little winter storm I realized how bad of shape these boots were in, I started noticing that my feet were getting really cold!  I soon also realized that even through 5 pairs of socks my feet were somehow wet as well.  I figured out the problem as seen here.  It’s officially time to retire the coolest rainboots ever!  :(  I’m so very upset.  I think this time though I’m going to invest in some snow boots as well as rain boots!  I definitely learned a difference between the two and the importance of each this winter!

I also learned what “rime” ice was today from the 4029 weather man.  I was so amazed by this awesome “icicle” looking snow this morning, as I described it to TW.  I took a few snapshots of it I was so amazed.  Well later on I found out that what I noticed what a new term to me.  It’s far less dangerous apparently, just prettier to look at.  I think it’s caused from the fog we had this morning, so I’m guessing you’ll be able to see it in the morning if you haven’t noticed it already.

Enjoy!
