Hi, all.

Once again, winter's coming. And it can get bleedin' cold up here in Montana. And windy, too.

Now I've heard people before say "I wear my 8-yard and hose and I'm fine in the winter!" When it's so bloomin' cold that I'm freezing in flannel-lined carhart (pants [ick]) I have a hard time believing that I'd be comfy in a kilt and hose. When it's 3 degrees (F) out there I don't see too many women in skirts, and it's easy to figure out why. Well I'm on my Bifurcation Eradication Mission, and I have to come up with a solution that doesn't allow frost bite to my...

How about some other options? Knitted tights with or without hose? Is that too feminine looking? What do other you far-Northers wear in the dark and cold months? Or do I just need to accept that I don't live in a climate that will allow me to wear kilts full-time year-round?

Thanks for the tips and such.
