    Outdoors in poor weather, hiking boots and smiles suits this couple so well. Good for them.

    Princess Mette Marit wears a toboggan so well. Most people don't look good in them. Cold, but looks like fun.

      What does it mean to "wear a toboggan"? I always thought that a toboggan was a type of sled.

    Toboggan is a winter hat and has its origin in the south of the USA. It is not just any other winter hat that is referred to as toboggan; it has to be a knit hat. It is also important to point out that toboggan, to New Englanders and a majority of northern USA, is a wooden sled.

    In some other regions, a toboggan hat is also referred to as a beanie, snookie, Sherpa, watch cap, or burglar hat. We can all agree that there is a regional difference to the name and meaning of a toboggan, but we can all agree it is a type of a hat

      Well, no, we can't all agree that because a lot of us were unaware of that meaning. The most common use of the word means a wooden sled.

      Anonymous 4:01, thank you so much for the very interesting explanation of “toboggan”. I never knew it referred to anything except a sled. I love learning new tidbits of knowledge from this blog.

      It's not very cold in there, looks like it's already a bit above freezing point. A mild foggy weather, typical for the early spring in Scandinavia.

    Pardon. I am American and some of our phrases and names for items tend to be different from those in European countries.

    On voit que le chien est mal à l'aise, qu'il a froid, sa queue est rentrée. Ce type de chien ne doit pas être sorti par si grand froid.

    I really admire these young royals. Certainly amongst my favourites of their generation.
