Wardrobe Recommendations

This is “full winter armour” weather:

  • Mittens over gloves, and insulated boots rated for extreme cold

  • Face covering (balaclava/neck gaiter) to protect cheeks and nose from frostbite

  • If you’re driving: pack blankets, a shovel, booster cables, and keep a charged phone—conditions can turn risky fast in the cold warning period.
