Dear Meredith,
Right now outside of where I live ,it's-21* snowing,with winds of maybe 40 miles an hour.Warmer than yesterday.
Joking apart,here the 'in' thing is black everything,winter coats,boots,i mean boots,scarves not silk.hats,tuques,anything to hide you from Jack frost.
So different strokes for different folks.
I am a man ,very rare commodity here.
Oh winter here lasts from .oh mid november to beginning of april.
I live in Quebec ,Canada,near aski resort.Somedays at the top of the mountain it rises to -70* so they close the slopes.
Good winter
