Dressing For Winter

I mentioned the need for warm gloves and hats; you will also need a scarf on really cold days – both to keep your neck warm and to hold over your face if the wind is really cold.

Of course you need a warm coat – down filled is good, and some warm boots. I like high boots since the snow here can get so deep that it gets inside short boots. The stores carry a lot of nice looking leather boots with no lining – those are good for looks but not for wearing outside for any amount of time. You need a boot with fur lining and a non-slip sole.

Dress properly and you will enjoy playing in the snow. If I am warm enough, I love to be outside, especially when the snow is falling. It is so calm and quiet and pretty (until the smog turns the snow black).

I don’t like the bitter cold, but I do like snow – unless I’m stuck on the highway in it.

      Hi Riza,

      And thank you for commenting on the blog. I asked some friends in Vancouver about buying boots and it was recommended that Walmart is probably the most reasonable store to get them. There are about 5 Walmart stores in Vancouver, so you should be able to find one nearby. Best of luck in your new home.
