New Orleans Winter Surprises

Buried socks in book bags, sweaters stuffed into purses, and scarfs left at friends homes  are hazards of the winter weather in New Orleans. You wake up to a cool 46 and by noon it is 67 or 70 degrees.
Knowing what to wear is always a challenge.
I like to call it the weather wheel. It spins around and makes you dizzy.  Our summers are just one tempreture, scalding. The long summer, which may last from April through September, require wearing as little as possible: only cotton, and sleeveless attire.  But, Father Winter leaves us in a quandary.
Visitors from northern climates tease us when the fall temps hit 68, because we take out our hats and coats! We are just preparing for the weather wheel.....Up, down, round, and round.  Grab an end and give it a spin.... If you are coming for a visit, which we sincerely hope that you do, bring a variety of apparel.  You get three seasons for the cost of one visit!
