My favorite ways to stay warm this season.

Inspired by a friend who is going to work on the Iditarod veterinary team next year and wrangling horses in the cold, these are my personal favorite things to keep warm with this season.

1. Extreme cold weather flight jacket. This coat features a zip up hood that allows your face to stay warm as well as unzips so that the hood sits comfortably

I prefer a knitted headband to earmuffs because it can be worn under a bike helmet. But then, who wants to bike in this shit?

Also, I love fingerless gloves. They're not only super handy (pun!), but they're also really quick and easy to knit.

I would add, if you live somewhere like Michigan, where it's cold AND wet, then a good pair of snow boots is a must. I would totally buy these if I still lived up there. The snow boots of my childhood were not nearly so glamorous.

I totally agree on snow boots as well. :)

Good call on the knitted headband!

You forgot "My Husband"

Did not forget. If I could clone David and make one for all of my friends, I would. :)

Well I have a whole new appreciation for "cold" now that I live in NE. I don't worry about the temp really unless it dips below 20 or so. I usually go with a great big fluffy sweater and a scarf until about 20. After that I get out my winter coat. Buuuuut, I love to stay warm with soups, homemade hot cocoa and snuggles! And wool socks...mmmm wool socks....
