Winter Outerwear for those brutal Ithaca Winters

<p>Any recommendations for type of coat & boots, for standing around waiting for the bus, or trekking up and down hills to class? Is a long parka-style or down jacket going to serve you better than a wool coat? What store or online source has a good selection/price? Any specials/sales that anyone has found? How about boots?</p>

<p>Bought DD an authentic pea coat before she left for freshman year. From the army navy store. It was her absolute favorite until she graduated and she is a bit of a fashion hound.</p>
