Good heavens. I agree with 'Lainie on this one--most of us Minnesotans
(and N and S Dakotans, and Winnipegians, and some Wisconsonites, and
Yoopers) are smart enough to wear something on our heads, even if it's
just the hood from the cloak. And in the summer we wear hats to protect us
from the sun.

No wonder you're cold.
