WTF do you wear when it is -18 outside???

I was reading the post below.  I mean, I would be frozen to the street!  How do you put on enough clothes and still move?  I would be like that kid from Christmas Story where he can not put his arms down.  It has been 40's here during the day with wind, and I have been so cold.  Presley won't willingly get out of the car, I have to carry both kids into the gym, can not imagine teens, much less, negative teens!!

I feel for you girls!

    LOL

    Just layers, lots of layers, and very warm boots. Those and good gloves are a must.

    Actually, my DH is in Fargo right now and he said he's surprised at how it's not as bad as he expected. He isn't even wearing long johns under his jeans - layers on top and a big heavy leather coat (full length) and that's it.

    You don't leave the house, and if you do have to go out, you park as close as possible and run in :-)

    We don't go outside! Though DH did wear his orange hunting gear outside today to plow.  It was 20something below zero today.

    I wouldn't leave my house, but if I did I would wear some tights, leggings and another pair of pants and who knows how many layers I can get on top.

    That's why I now love Uggs and own 3 pairs.  And DD wakes up saying "snow boots?".

    I go nuts stuck at home so I still go out, but we are BUNDLED UP and move fast.

    My low last night was -27 with a -37 windchill. My parents, who live a couple of hours north of me, had a -38 actual temp, but luckily no wind. This is supposed to stick around all week. I think our high today was -7 or something (excluding windchill). You just bundle up best you can, in boots/good winter coat/hats/gloves...and run in as fast as you can :-) Or avoid going out if you can, like I did today. lol

    Honestly, once it hits 0, the degrees below that don't matter much - it is all colder than you can imagine!
