on walking through snow & homemade pesto.

Tadaaa.  It’s me again.  Happy New Year, Happy New President, etc.

I have a random issue that’s been bugging the hell out of me - why do people not hold umbrellas through snow/flurries?  I thought it was perfectly sensible to use an umbrella in a snow storm…until my husband made fun of me.  And then I noticed that no one else was using one.  So my question of the day is this: what is the logic behind this nonsense phenomenon?

(FYI I tried going umbrella-free the other day, and I ended up with icicles on my lashes, and two inches of snow on top of my head.)
