Some have a mid-life crisis which typically occurs once in their life usually ranging between 30-50 years old. Others, cough cough PLSR, have a mid-winter crisis. Haven’t heard of this? Well, we bet you’ve experienced it at one point or another. You know when it hits the dead of winter, negative temperatures, snow up to your knees, yet all you can find in your closet is last summers sundress or tank top? Mid. Winter. Crisis.

We’re no WebMD or anything, but we like to define this syndrome as: a crisis or transition in ones life that occurs during significant decrease in temperature and results in trauma forcing one to escape into summer through wardrobe changes.
