@Sheila P-Burg - I am not familiar with the cape you mentioned, but thanks to your post, I just Googled "toboggan" and discovered that although I've only ever known that word to refer to a simple sled, it is also a word used for a knit hat in the South. You really do learn something new every day!

No, it hasn't snowed in Pennsylvania yet.  Thank goodness!  It must be part of the set.

We moved from VT to NC and when I heard people talking about toboggans, I assumed they meant the sleds.  But, as you stated they are actually the knit winter hats.  I don't know why they're called that, but it's been going on forever.

I had to chuckle to myself when I read your comments about me saying "toboggan" . I was raised in Ohio and I can still hear my Mother reminding my sister and me to put our "toboggans" on. I chuckled to myself because they were the ugliest most uncomfortable things you could ever put on your head. When you pulled them off (you always pulled from the top) your hair went flying all over the place and had so much "electricity" in it you would get shocked. BUT, they did keep your head and ears warm! Thanks reminding me of the memories. It was nice once again to flash back to my youth and the good memories! Thank you!

I never knew that.  Only knew it as a sled.  Never too old to learn something new.
