Wardrobe Recommendations

Base layer + mid-layer + insulated parka (windproof matters as much as warmth)
-
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.
