How do you tackle the cold weather?

I'm supposed to be going out to a few clubs tonight but its freezing outside and boiling inside.

What have you learnt in your years of experience that helps out

I'm thinking of shopping for some sort of thermal vest i can wear under.

[Norky]

I have this problem with gigs, queue outside freezing, get inside sweating. Take a hat and gloves. You can stick the gloves in your pocket, and I wear a deer-hunter hat so I don't look like a pillock inside

I wear a t-shirt under my office shirt on the way to work. It work's a treat

Scarf and gloves are also needed.

I can't stand heavy clothes. I would rather freeze than wear a bundle. I don't know if they sell in the UK, but landsend.com makes really good light outerwear.

I'd say wear a second T-shirt, helps, and doesn't make you too warm for the clubs, or make you look like an arse walking around.

I went with wearing a normal vest under a t-shirt yesterday and it helped a lot, body was warm but arms were still freezing, couldn't really do much about that though.

Try to make sure that your indoor environment is not too hot. Too many people overheat their houses, which is of course bad for the environment and their wallets. Personally I don't think you should heat your house so that its warm enough to walk around in t-shirt and shorts. If you are really hot before you go outside, you'll feel the cold more.

As for clubs, what can you do?

Layers is the key I think.

Its an easy one - just get a big hooooooooj flufffy parker type coat with a big hoooooj fluffy hood, then when your outside your nice and warm, when your inside, hand the coat to the cloak room and vice versa at the end of the night.

lots of layers and lots of heat? hehe

[EvilMunky]

its all about the layers - you must wear layers to keep warm.

a top you can tie around your waist may help.

Since I have quite a dislike of heat, I enjoy the cold while we've got it.

How to deal with it? Erm, jeans and t-shirt. Jacket if it's windy.

[Stringent]

Nice big Puffa jacket!

Trouble is that thing is SO warm I start sweating inside. Not a nice feeling, so do you take the jacket off and cool down and catch a death of a cold or sweat it out?

Also scarf, gloves don't go amiss. I refuse to wear a hat cos my beautifully styled hair will get messed up!

Also I have a car, car has heater. Heater keeps me warm!

[specofdust]

Right now, with what must be 70-80 mile an hour winds outside, horizontal sleet/hail, and the heating on(its still freezing!), im wearing one hot water bottle, a t-shirt, a top, a fleece, a wooly hat and a wooly scarf! Thats inside :|

Stupid stinking north of scotland god damn freezing weather....

Yeah, I could hand my coat in to the cloak room, along with a fee , students need that few £ for drinks

[Lee H]

Vodka before I go out.

Russian Antifreeze and its been working well for years

[kidzer]

Badly.

Walking to get the bus today to get to school had my shirt and tie, and then a DPR jacket and that jacket is fine and warm but I was still freezing!

Gonna try t-shirt under the shirt on Friday (or monday, if (highly unlikley) the snow keeps us off tomorrow)
