Wear a base layer of garments meant to keep you dry if your outer layer allows snow to seep through to your skin. Choose woolen long underwear, fleece, or synthetic fibers instead. Layer long underwear under a pair of warm pants on particularly icy days or if you're not going to use snow pants. Wear a jacket that is thick enough to keep out the cold but light enough to move easily. Carry an extra layer in your car or at your work site in case it gets cold later. You can always shed some weight by removing some items from your wardrobe. Look for fabrics such as cotton and polyester that will hold their color even when wet. This will help you identify clear areas on the road so you don't get stuck. Avoid wearing white or bright colors because they will wash out of view when it snows. Instead, choose shades of gray, black, and brown to look visible even from a distance. Finally, remember that no matter what you wear, ice skates cannot save you from a head-on collision with a tractor trailer!
