If you never lived where it snows and were moving North to where it does snow, what would you have liked to have known? What would you do to prepare?

    Mittens are warmer than gloves.

    Winter shoes must fit a woolen sock and not be too tight, otherwise the insulation gets compressed and doesn’t work.

    Better to wear many layers rather than just one layer of super thick clothing

      I actually like my winter boots to be slightly loose too. I get cold toes easily, but if there’s a little extra room in my boots I find that every step moves air around inside the boot so my toebox doesn’t get isolated.
