Warm Winter Apparel

We all know that winter is on the way. Winter can be pretty brutal here in Western New York. We sure do get our fair share of cold and snow.

This is our grandson, helping to shovel the snow off of the deck. Oh yes, some years we get plenty of it.

When the cold and snow come our way soon we certainly want to be prepared with our warm winter apparel.

I am really not looking forward to the cold weather, I get really frustrated at times getting into the car with my winter coat on and then trying to buckle the seat belt.

When the time comes I'll be wearing my Columbia Sportswear winter coat. I can't tell you how long that I've had this coat but I know it has been many years. My coat has kept me warm on many cold winter days.

Dressing for Winter Activities:

There are plenty of winter activities in our area with several ski resorts, snowmobile trails, and winter festivals. If you are going to be out in the cold weather for any length of time the idea is to dress in layers.

I'm not an expert on how to dress in layers for cold weather. If you're not sure how to dress in layers. Here is a link that can help guide you to the proper method.

It may be a myth, but I know when my feet are cold I seem to be cold all over. They say that for socks thicker is not better, and stay away from cotton, use a wool. Then, of course, you'll want to have a good winter boot.
