Mittens: fingers are all together in one pocket with the thumb on it’s own. Best to keep your hands warm. Great for snow balls & snowmen. Gloves: each finger has its own pocket but esspecially in extreme cold or in extended time outdoors, fingers can get chilled faster than with mittens. Still, they are good for driving and other tasks where fingers are necessary. You should probably have both (tip: shop the January sales).

My d and her roommate had a snowman right outside their dorm window. Some of the Hillsdale snowmen are themed and it’s pretty creative.

V. Cold right now in The 'Dale. Another thing you might want to consider: long underwear, especially silk, especially if you find yourself really not comfy with cold.
