What To Wear In Extreme Cold Weather

Areas in America and Canada seems to be literally freezing due to the natural phenomenon called "polar vortex." It is a strong area of low pressure that wanders around the Arctic during winter time. However, its movement had an aberration and slipped farther South, affecting areas in the USA.

Few minutes longer in the frigid weather can cause frostbite as temperature dip as low as 5 F and that is very dangerous. So, what can you wear to keep the heat in your body during this harsh winter condition? Here are some clothing that will help you insulate and stay warm.

Thermal layers
Ensure that the first layer which is closest to your body fits a bit tight to trap the warm air inside but not too loose so that it can remove perspiration. A synthetic material stays dry and warm but can trap odor while woolen material can be itchy but keep you warm. Pick the right material that you are comfortable with as long as you are warm.

The second layer can be a vest, sweater or puff vest with down. These are all warm materials that will certainly keep you dry and warm.

Also wear leggings underneath your pants for added warmth and protection from the bitter cold.

Insulated parka
Top off your layers with an insulated and also waterproof parka.  Ordinary down jackets can keep you warm but can't repel wind and moisture.


Snow pants
It is best to over your lower body from the harsh winter cold by wearing snow pants on top of your regular pants. The polar vortex is an unforgiving phenomenon. No matter how many leggings you have underneath your regular pants, you can still get very cold.

Wear head gear, ear muffs, woolen socks, thick gloves and scarves
You can lose so much heat from your head to keep it covered with woolen beanie hat. Make sure that your neck, feet, hand and ears are covered as well.

Use snow boots or insulated boots
It is very important to keep moisture away from your feet. Wear woolen socks in layers but make sure you can still move your toes inside for circulation.


It pays to be warm during this extreme weather condition and proper clothing for the bitter cold will keep you safe and warm.

Hello Sunny Dubai

I thought I will never say this but after our 10-days stay in the very cold and still very wintery weather in New York, made me miss Dubai badly. And to top it off, I was raring to go home during the last few days in Buffalo.

The weather there is extremely cold for me and I am one who loves cold weather but not the wintery one. My friend from Canada who drove all the way to Buffalo to see us even said it was mild. I can just imagine what "extreme" is like. I can feel the cold in my bones. My back was getting very stiff and my layers of thermal clothing are not really helping.

So, we're back in Dubai and I could not be more relieved. I am happy to be able to experience the cold weather in the beautiful state of New York which will always be one of my favorite places to visit. I am just not sure if I can stay longer during winter.

Hello Sunny Dubai. I missed you!

Cold Weather Gear

We have trip in the offing by the end of this month, just in time for the long Eid holidays. And guess where we are going again? New York! Yes, it is our all time favorite place to go to during holidays just because everything is accessible and we have family and friends there. It's just so much fun to visit a place when you know people who live there.

The weather there now is getting cooler. We have to keep our warm clothing ready. I may have to buy new winter clothing just like the north face womens jackets I saw in the internet. My winter clothes are getting very outdated and I feel it is time to update them too.

I hope to find great offers there so I can buy some nice winter clothes for myself and family. Who knows, the new winter gears may come in very handy when we push through our Europe tour next year.
