[QUOTE="katya02, post: 191512, member: 2884"] I missed the beginning/context here, but ... snow and lots of it, I take it? Cold? I suggest a good parka if you're really far north - length between hip and knee, with an elasticized closure at the waist to prevent nasty cold breezes coming up from under ... also elasticized inner wrist wind-stoppers in the sleeves. And the warmest boots you can buy, which means removable liners that can be dried separately from the waterproof outers; and a hat. The parka should have a hood, preferably one that can flip forward to protect your face from the wind. If you stop the wind, you'll be snug. An airtight woodstove is wonderful in winter! The radiant heat can't be beat. If you're far enough north that the snow stays clean (i.e. it doesn't melt into that nasty black slush), winter can be the most beautiful season. Any sunshine will be reflected and magnified many times by the snow - great for SAD! A few thoughts gleaned from living (in years past) in Moosonee (James Bay, southern tip of Hudson Bay). [/QUOTE]
