Just moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Iowa. Needless to say I’m absolutely clueless to winter wear for the area. People are telling me that it’ll get down to -40° in January so I’m a little apprehensive about picking up just any pants and jacket.

I work retail so I’m assuming I’m going to have to go up to an EDC backpack so I can change at work from extreme cold gear to working gear. I already have a winter kit in my car with blankets and a shovel and that stuff but I really want to make my clothing wearing and carrying efficient. What kind of clothing items and carry systems can you guys recommend? Who here is from the treacherous mid-west?
