It is positively getting to be that weathery time of year.

Withstanding the various strains of precipitation, the plummeting temperatures, and the dry hands is feat enough. Having to deal with all the weather preparedness accoutrement is quite another–wet boots, coats upon coats upon slickers upon jackets upon sweaters-posing-as-coats, umbrellas (but never these in Seattle), gloves and hats and scarves and mittens and are we sure we were ever meant to live in climates that required so much protection from the elements?

You take all of that–your own versions–and then you add to it the fact that any and every guest who visits your casa will necessarily bring, and need a place to temporarily park, their gear, and you end up at you better have a legitimate entryway set up is what.
