-Also from out west

This is why I'm concerned for the future.

Same.

I do have a knee length down coat that I wear when it's below 20 degrees.

Long Johns are a layer…….

Yes. From Costco. I have dogs so I’m out walking a lot.

+1.

Yes, several pairs in different weights. I spend a lot of time outdoors, including going camping in sub-freezing temps. So I mostly own them for camping, skiing, etc. But since I have them ... if it's chilly out, I'll wear them under my work clothes (my office gets cold), under a lightweight pair of pants on the weekend, or for hanging out around the fire pit on a cold evening.

For lightweight, the Costco brand is pretty good. If I need more insulation, I use wool.

Yes because I walk the dogs early morning and evening every day.

I wear thick, stretchy tights under pants all winter long. Much warmer!

I wear heattech from Uniqlo or the 32 degrees brand. They are thin enough to wear under pants. It’s been very cold in December.

I wear them now for walks here. Its so much better especially with the wind. I get the 100% cottons ones but DH swears by the cotton/poly blend ones.

I live several states south of the DC area and wear Uniqlo heatech leggings and long sleeves or turtlenecks regularly in the winter. They make a world of difference.

Not anymore. It isn’t cold enough here. Living in Upstate New York, I lived in silk long Johns during the winter.
