UAF Photo by Andrew Johnson Winter wear Layering is not a 7-layer cake It’s the dress for success look in Fairbanks. You can add or remove what you need, when you need it. An extra long-sleeved shirt, turtleneck and long johns can be layered under a warm coat and snow pants. Top it off with boots, mittens and a hat, and you’re ready for winter! If home to you is a warm climate, not to worry as local suppliers offer winter clothing rentals for a successful outing. Opportunities to warm up should be included in your winter experiences – a hot cup of cocoa and a moment by the woodstove will ready you for a return trip outside. Our National Weather Service shared with us that since 1922, the average number of days each year that it has been -30oF or colder all day has been 2 days in December and 3 days in January – not as extreme as myths promote. What do bunnies and boots have in common? Bunny boots, known as vapor barrier boots, are large, insulated rubber boots found in stylish white or black to match any winter outfit. Watch for locals wearing these boots out snowmobiling or out dancing. Nicholas Jacobs/FCVB Robin Hood/ATIA 5
