I'm going to state the obvious here and go right ahead as to proclaim this winter to be one of the most horrid in recent memory. This is my fourth one in NYC and it is by leaps and bounds the absolute worst I've experienced thus far. In fact, I feel like this Polar Vortex business is something meteorologists just made up as a way to explain what's going on but I'm sure no one's got a clue as to why the temps reach record lows on the daily or why there's a snowpocalypse nearly every week. But let's not make this blog post solely about the weather, that would be way, way too boring. So before becoming a snooze-fest, let's segue into the real topic at hand: how to not let the enemy (in this case, Mother Nature) ruin your style mojo.
