    • I think it depends on what is meant by "cold". I do like mild winter weather, which to me, is anything warmer then ~-12C with almost no wind. The wind part is pretty important, as it makes it bitter outside, even if the base temperature isn't bad (the joys of living on the prairie). Usually during this "mild" winter weather, I'll wear my AlpineTech (no layering needed though) and a tuque. If I go skating though, I'll likely bring light scarf and little gloves.

    Now, if by cold you mean -30C or something, then we're talking about a completely different story. That's when I'll layer under my coat, pull out my boots (rated to -40C), use a thicker scarf, and maybe even wear real gloves/mittens. If I have to be outside for a long time, I add layers to my bottoms (warm tights-pants-fuzzy sweats) and socks.

    One time, I wore three bottoms, 4 tops, 2 socks, a thick scarf, wool mittens, a tuque, proper boots, and my winter coat and I was STILL cold. You really just can't win when the north wind decides it wants to be nasty and lash your skin, or when it's so cold, the air alone is enough to hurt your face.

    Winter on the Canadian plains can be freaking brutal...

    well where I hang out most nights is uninsulated and we just use a crappy portable heater to get some heat in there. I usually wear three layers, warm socks, a hat, and boots while I'm in there. When you're in the cold often you just become accustomed to it.

    typically avoid the bone-chilling cold by avoiding the outside altogether lol.

    • Thick blanket, jacket with hood, heaters... and since I don't have a garage (well we do... but it is occupied by my father's car), I'm literally covering my car in a blanket to avoid scraping off the ice from the windshield in the morning.
