Where are your boots?

I would like an unscientific poll from my four readers on when is the correct time of year to put away your boots.

It is a proven fact that putting your boots in the closet before April can result in 4" of snow overnight. This hypothesis has been proven numerous times by countless grad students.

My sister has postulated that May is a safe date to her. Hear me now and believe me later, there is no safe time. And that goes double for snowpants.

To save time and toil, all you bloggers in states that receive no snow are disqualified from commenting. (Until you have shovelled the stuff and got some in your boots where it melts on just the inside of your ankle and your boots stay wet for a week, you haven't really lived.)

I know, I hear you get sand in your sneakers a lot. That must be rough.
