[Observer] Hats off to hats - why a hatless America started

[PaperBoy]

As a child this was always one of my favorite times of year. Although it was bitterly cold at times, the winters in Chicago proved to be an exciting time when each morning held the possibility of waking up to a snow day. For several years I have fondly referred to this time of year as "hat season" despite the fact that I myself never wear hats.
