Not sure if you heard the news or not BUT snow is supposed to start falling soon in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.  Right now, a good chunk of parents are also starting to panic because they know that their kids' boots, coats, and snow pants have zero chance of fitting again this year.  One of my own kids shot up about 5 inches so trust me, I'm in the same boat!  And once that first snowflake falls it will be a mad dash to all the stores to try to find warm gear to stay warm.
