The saga of DB's winter clothing continues....

So the jacket fit and is approved, so he's actually wearing his jacket today, not J's. So that's good.

The boots, otoh? They're too small. And it's -3F in the back yard, and all I want to do is stay home where it's warm. (I have a cold, and my back really dislikes this extra-cold weather.) But he's got to ride the bus tomorrow, and would really like boots that fit -- he got dropped off this morning for Jazz Band rehearsal. As usual, it's warmer in town, and the wind is far less than they had been predicting, so school as usual today. Many schools east and south of us are closed today. AA cancelled at 6am(!) due to "transportation issues" -- whether this means that buses wouldn't start or that the heaters wouldn't be able to keep up with the door openings, I dunno. (-15F wind chill cancels school, at -10F (air temp) the buses won't start, 10F means indoor recess for K-5.)

Must go feed the birds, but see above paragraph about cold. At least the birdbath isn't frozen -- the wind's not been blowing hard enough to do that.
