Yeah in the 70ies/early eighties I had Winter cold weather gear. Air Force issue long coat with the fur lined snorkel hood. Zipped tight mu glasses would fog up. Insulated pants and boots. It all sat in the back of the closet mid-eighties until we had a real prolonged cold snap (Cape Cod canal froze and was closed ) and went to use it and it just smelled too bad from not being used. I've replace the jacket with something from LL Bean that has no snorkel hood and it is being used today to just get out and about. I have good Winter boots for use with the snow blower or tractor but no heavy snow/winter over pants. Jut haven't really needed them. Even my thermies were still in storage from last year. Just haven't needed them. Can't find a single scarf from last year.
