Not so sweaty on the Metro that way. I have a fur chapka (hat with ears), and silk long underwear/shirts. Serious, lined leather gloves, like you said. <br /><br />I also ordered an item called Yaktrax (again, I am not in any way paid to promote them). I had people stop me outside the Metro and beg me to tell them where I got these. They easily slip on over your shoes/boots and keep you from falling on the icy streets. because in Moscow they clean off the streets leaving the thinnest possible layer of ice because Moscow does not believe in salt.<br /><br />We each had a pair, and they were priceless. Not terribly expensive either.

It isn't as cold as Russia here, but it did get pretty freezing in January, so I would definitely agree on the proper ski gloves and snow trousers - and ski socks for kids are great for keeping little feet warm inside boots, too. Although, if you have little boys like me who don't look after their gloves, you might also want to invest in a few cheap pairs so that you don't despair when one gets lost....nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-11873660341556272032010-12-01T13:39:57.292+00:002010-12-01T13:39:57.292+00:00Couldn't be better timing as the snow fell in ...Couldn't be better timing as the snow fell in the deep South Eastern Suburbs yesterday and has caused chaos.Kelly Inneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145699000960809495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-30408078689108532602010-12-01T12:51:03.320+00:002010-12-01T12:51:03.320+00:00Fabulous tips thanks.

I have been asking around the shops for ski trousers and waterproofs for Youngling's age group (20 months) but everyone seems to have had the common knoweledge side of their brains frozen solid in this weather. Luckily we havent had it too bad fingers crossed we get a little more around Christmas. But not so much that DH gets snowed in at work! xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-22181369237757368772010-12-01T11:38:01.809+00:002010-12-01T11:38:01.809+00:00Good tips - I'm on the search for the perfect ...Good tips - I'm on the search for the perfect pair of winter boots, warm and waterproof and not totally ugly<br /><br />So far having little luck but I'm travelling hopefullyMuddling Alonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702217530704657676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-19404315880704054792010-12-01T11:05:31.874+00:002010-12-01T11:05:31.874+00:00Love them!
