Cold Weather Essentials?

I am going to Utah to start school this fall at BYU. I need to know some cold weather clothing that a girl needs to have to survive the freezing weather!Cold Weather Essentials?
You'll probably want something that passes as a rain coat but doesn't get too toasty. Then you'll want a coat that can do cold weather. It's a better bargain if your cold weather coat is also waterproof. Style-wise, aim for something that goes well with both your Sunday-best and your everyday casual.



You'll survive without hardcore winter boots, unless you develop the habit of traipsing around in the snow off of the sidewalks. However, you'll be miserable with flimsy slipper things or with anything that has a ridiculously high heel. I kid you not, I have seen girls walking home from church, barefoot on the ice because the shoes they wore to church just didn't do well on ice, stairs, and/or steep ramps.



The typical gloves/scarves apparel may come in handy, but that's a personal preference thing.
