Don’t worry about the weather! There are many days in the midwest that are in the 40s or sometimes higher. Well, “many” might be too strong a word but Hillsdale is not a perpetual ice box from Dec through March (OK, sometimes April). Plan to dress in layers (T-neck, sweater, maybe a down jacket with a shell). There will be days in the 40s, many days without snow.

Another good idea is to invest in some good MITTENS (not gloves), some good boots intended to keep feet both warm and dry, and appropriate snow/cold day accessories: scarves, maybe a neck gaiter. A tip for jacket shopping: if the one you choose doesn’t cover your bum, you might spend your outside time quite glum. :)
