Hi all! I moved to Canada from Puerto Rico with my parents earlier last year. While almost everything about Canada has been great, one thing that hasn't been is the cold weather. Going from a tropical climate to an Arctic one has been hard for us. Being that my parents are extremely overprotective of me, they have spent thousands of dollars on winter clothing for me. They are very worried that the cold weather will get me sick so I always have to wear lots of heavy and bulky layers. On my legs I have to wear leggings that are lined with fleece underneath jeans with thick snow pants on top. On my feet I wear layers of wool socks and giant mukluk boots. On my hands I wear leather gloves underneath thicker waterproof gloves and mittens. Over my regular clothes I wear a fleece jacket, a thigh length puffer coat, a long puffer coat, and a down lined heavy parka. On my head I wear a balaclava with a toque over it and a muffler wrapped around it. Then I wear all three hoods up with another longer muffler wrapped around the outside of the hoods. This is how I wrap up whenever I go to school or if I'm going to be outside for longer than a few minutes. I really don't like wearing so many layers, and I notice that most other Canadians are dressed much lighter than me. By the time I get to school and undress I'm always sweaty and it's rather embarrassing. What are your tips for dealing with Canadian winters?
