8 cold-weather essentials to keep you toasty warm this winter

We’re in that weird, in-between part of fall where there’s still the occasional warm day. But from here on out, we should probably prepare ourselves for consistently colder weather. Don’t get us wrong, frosty days are great! Unless of course, you’re unprepared. Then you’re in a special kind of frigid hell where you can’t be comfortable in your own skin. You end up over-compensating by chugging a hot drink, or huddling under the hand dryer in the bathroom. So before temps drop below zero, stock up on these 8 cold-weather necessities to keep your blood warm on even the iciest afternoons.
