You don't want any exposed skin in this kind of weather.

To put the garbage out, I put on my Carhart coveralls (over jeans and a t-shirt), winter boots, heavy gloves, a scarf, ear muffs, a neoprene face mask, a balaclava, ski goggles, and a hat over that.

We're not going anywhere. The kids are staying in, and I usually let the older ones play in the snow. I have a two-month old and even taking her from the car into a store is a concern.
I shoveled the drive since it was light and fluffy and not worth trying to use the snow blower. I had my leather boots and jeans but wore a heavy coat, gloves hat and neoprene mask. I was plenty warm but we had gotten up to -3*. Also, do NOT sneeze in your neoprene mask. Ever.
