If it's going to be cold out, your local winter gear is like someone from Florida's winter gear going to Nebraska.
I've got a pair of insulated pack boots that are rated for 120�F below, and if I'm not moving around my feet still get cold in the nasty weather.
If it's bad, you could see -30�F or worse on the thermometer. Disposable chemical heating packs are your best friend! I like the larger ones, that are supposed to run for 18 hrs. (about 6" square).
Oh, I live and die by the warmers. I like the toe warmers more. They're more versatile, smaller and shaped just right for all kinds of applications. I generally put two in each boot, one in each of my back jeans pockets and one in between my double layered gloves. I've been quite comfortable with this in nearly -20F weather. And that wasn't windchill.
