I bought the coat because New Mexico has mild winters, I had lived there for a very long time and was suddenly commuting to the Twin Cities of Minnesota... specifically, Saint Paul. I knew my winter coat, that had been perfectly fine for New Mexico, was not going to cut it in Minnesota.
What I didn't realize at the time is that Northern Colorado gets just as cold, only it's not for as long. Of course the sun shines more here, but I digress. ;-)
So when the weather is like it is right now, I am grateful for my Saint Paul Parka.
We went below freezing (+32F) yesterday afternoon and will stay there for the next week.

But you have to admit when the temp is 50F one day and you wake up to 12F the next day it can be a bit schocking to the system - and Iv'e lived my whole life on the plains of Northeastern Colorado - I keep thinking I'll get used to it!-)
Our temps have been fluctuating wildly in recent months. Thank heavens for wonderfully warm winter coats!
I love seeing your St. Paul Parka! You would absolutely need it this year in MN!
