yah last year was miserable here for snow (and especially snow clearing, the actual quantity was high but not record breaking). and I actually did get a lot of steps in by taking the bus to a poorly served area when biking got too miserable due to ice rutting. it's just that it resulted in some gnarly falls
Ah wading through the snow drifts is an outstanding way to get in both cardio and a full-body workout
I have better winter clothes/gear than ever before so I should just embrace it
It does depend on what you're doing. If you're doing lots of waiting around better to bundle up hard-core and eat the overheating you'll experience while being a snowbunny, but if you're being super active most of the time outside then dressing until you feel cool or slightly chilly while when not in significant motion will help you stay comfortable while constantly working out.
yeah its a real balancing act, especially biking because you have to add extra wind to the mix. I need to figure out a better middle-ground pants layer, my jeans+wool long underwear strategy is okay but has no wind resistance.
I usually go with working pants that have a really tight weave on them in combo with wool long underwear or synth sweat pants with an underlayer of thermals. The over pants stops most of the wind and the inner pants forms an air buffer for the thermal under pants to work their magic
