Winter tips for ignorant southerners? I've moved north (Wisconsin), and I think about the imminent winter every so often, with little real knowledge of what to do other than the perennial advice of dressing in layers, getting all-weather tires, and driving slowly.
Please, let me know winter life hacks/survival tips/things a Texan would not know about cold weather.
Do I need snow shoes? Spikes?
Can I expect to safely walk on the sidewalk in the winter without slipping and hurting my everything?
Do I need more/better coats than what I have now? (A duster and leather jacket, both fairly thick.)
Will I need to get a sun lamp/UV lights for the middle of the winter when the sun is up for a shorter time?
When does the hunting season on snow yetis begin, and are taun-tauns still legal mounts for the hunt?
Long underwear is great for being warm without wearing a jacket or bulky sweaters all the time. I live in DC, and, last winter, my basement bedroom was unheated. Long underwear + lots of blankets meant I didn't care too much. Flannel sheets may also be your friend.
