Craziness!

So I was out shopping, which I really did not want to do, but there are a few things that I desperately needed, so there was no getting out of it. One of the things was winter boots. It may be January, but I had not yet succeeded in finding the right boots. And then, to my shock, I found out that the stores will only be carrying winter boots for the rest of the week and, starting next week, will only have SPRING SHOES in stock! What the? I mean, seriously. Do any of you have any idea how long winter in Austria is still going to take? We'll be lucky if the weather starts getting warm and dry by April. Last year, I was still heating in May. And they quit selling winter stuff NOW? What if I still need something? This just blows my mind.
