Yesterday was almost the day...

I don't know how you poor souls survive in that kind of cold.

It might be cold, but, it's a dry cold.

My problem is shoes: I get chilblains and so need to wear really warm shoes or boots (and thermal socks) when it gets this cold - it's just -25C at the moment, but it was notably colder when I left the house this morning! The only appropriate footwear I have looks pretty hideous with a kilt. Any suggestions?

Just two formerly broken toes are ever affected, but it's difficult to calm down chilblains once they start; soon I can barely walk.

I wear hiking boots alot, try some with thinsulate, and\or air activated toe warmer pads. You can find them at most sporting good stores.

I have a nice pair of walking shoes that when combined with good hose are plenty warm. I also however slip on a pair of gortex gaiters over them and that helps a lot too. My dress yesterday was my medium weight Campbell of Argyle, heavy black hose, green flashes, black shoes, nice black military sweater over a wicking shirt, and a medium weight jacket. For the most part I was warm enough, aside from just about freezing my kneecaps off during a light stroll.
I will admit that I despise the cold, and -50 something with the windchill will be the coldest I dare attempt kilted again. Next time I'll be in my ski pants!

[Nighthawk]

Wow!! And I though -20.5c was cold!

[vorpallemur]

I am fond of my mukluks, but they don't look all that great with the kilt, I will admit.

It's only -19C here, I guess I should feel good about it, eh ?

If it's -40, who cares what your feet look like? As long as they're not blue?

Saturday night was a club Xmas dinner for me. Kilted in -40C windchill temps. I was planning on going off to the pub afterwards but going out for a smoke in those temperatures was becoming quite painful...

Well, it was 76 degrees here yesterday! Sorry guys, had to say it! Now to slide another gift under the Christmas palm tree.

Stay warm everyone!!

And it is raining here.

I'm going to have to start to colour coordinate the umbrellas to my kilts.

The temperature is supposed to go down towards the end of the week so some areas will perhaps have snow.

I'm still wearing sandals and tee shirts with my kilts though.

Very little possibility of an official white christmas.

[Jaggy thistle]

Wow you are some guy !! -13 is the coldest that I have worn my kilt in and I was not the least bit cold

[David Dubh]

I'm sure the kilt was warmer than the p*%#s I was in.
My only piece of advice I would give is this if you help push someone out of a snow drift and it's rear wheel drive mind you're not behind one of the wheels while kilted cause when the gun it and the wheels spin the snow flies up everywhere
