Heidi expounded:

Humphf. I remember when I was a little girl, we used to put bread loaf
bags over our socks, and then slide our feet into big moon boots, in
order to walk to school in a blizzard ( up hill both ways of course).

Heidi (who used to live in the UP of Michigan. Go UP'ers!)

I'm no Up'er, I'm from Grand Rapids, but I too remember putting
plastic bags over my feet so my feet wouldn't get wet in my boots.
And I also walked to school, uphill, both ways )
