How do I dress for the cold?
CDC says to dress in several layers of loose fitting clothing, and wear a hat, a scarf, mittens or gloves, and water resistant boots if you can. Change out of wet clothing promptly, since rain or sweat can chill you even when it is above 40 degrees.

All done. You are ready, friend.
Bunkly tip: clean dry socks make a big difference. If you get only one clothing item, ask for socks.
