Uh....
It snowed when we went to a UVA/VT baseball game in Blacksburg (on April 1st).
The first thing I bought was a long down coat with attached down hood....my son played college ball in Virginia. Fashion went out the window. I was determined to stay warm.
My hands have never been cold in sheep skin/fleece mittens. Same with some sheep lined Merrells on my feet.
I saw people bundled up in down mummy-type sleeping bags and I was somewhat jealous.
