Greg,
I live in Northern New Jersey, 2 days after Christmas we got 20" of
wonderful snow, we had wind chill's of 2 When I get up I put on a tight fitting
tee shirt and/or a long sleeved insulated blouse then a long sleeved turtle
neck and then to top it off a pull over sweater. On the bottom I wear leggings
that go from my ankles to mid-thigh, then warm socks then a warm fleece skirt
and warm slipper's. That's just for inside, if I'm going outside I have to put
on hat, scarf, mittens and a heavy coat.
At night I wear long sleeved PJ's and 3 to 4 blankets. Bobbie
