Sounds crazy, but I kinda envy you guys with the cold & snow! I know it's "cold" here right now, (I had to pull my sleeves down when I went out to get the mail this afternoon
). I know I wouldn't want the cold and snow for as long as you guys get it, but it would be nice for a month or so.
For someone like me who always has cold feet, is wool socks the way to go when I'm hanging out at home with no shoes on? I've never had a pair..

Ha ha! When I went out to get the mail this afternoon, I donned toque, neck warmer, gloves, insulated boots and down-filled parka! This is abnormally cold for our location, but I still love winter. I would miss it if I didn't live here. There's also a HUGE difference between winter in the country and winter in the city. Really, they shouldn't even qualify as the same season.
When I lived in the city, winters were milder but they were more miserable because of the salt and slush and drabness. Plus the fact that most people in the city don't really dress for the weather, they dress for the office. Here, being warm and dry is more fashionable than slipping and shivering in the stylish high-heeled, un-lined "winter" boots that city women wear from the subway to the office.
Where I am, out in the country, winter is fresh clean snow that sparkles like diamond dust, stunningly blue skies and rich green conifers. We like to complain about our winters, especially when they show us their nasty side, but we most love to bundle up, head outside, and play them.
As for socks: wool is definitely your best bet. Cotton and most synthetic socks will hold moisture when your feet perspire (even a little) and make them feel clammy.
