I agree with most of this information, but for all of the people from warm climates that will see this, the winters are absolutely manageable, and the way this person wrote the winter segment almost seems like a joke. Suggesting a windbreaker over a thick winter jacket? Perhaps just bad wording, but bad advice. Over-the-ear headphones as protective winter gear? You've got to be kidding.

But yes, if you don't dress for the weather, it's gonna suck. Coming from someone who grew up in upper midwest winters and comfortably biked through the winter for all four years at the U, here's what I think you should get to be comfortable:

  • A solid over-ear winter hat
  • 1-2 beanie winter hats (should cover your ears, good for layering, and you'll lose one)
  • An absolutely reliable, wind-blocking scarf, cold weather mask, or other face covering
  • Waterproof/windproof winter jacket (hood recommended)
  • A nice mid-layer (like a sweatshirt or fleece)
  • Long underwear/base layers (under armour, thermal leggings, etc)
  • Skiing gloves (waterproof/windproof-- get two pairs because you'll lose one)
  • Liner gloves (could be the crappy $2 ones from Target, but it doesn't hurt to spend a bit more)
  • Wool socks (multiple pairs-- they're comfy and functional)
  • Waterproof snowboots

    It's not hard to thrift for many of these items to get them cheap. Hit the thrift store before October to get your best selection-- heck, go this weekend!

    Also, after being directly connected with more students than I can count from classes and extracurriculars, I didn't know anyone who preferred using the Gopher Way. I wouldn't count on using it unless you want to add 10-30 minutes through isolated tunnels to your commute. It's far easier to reliably bundle up and walk straight to wherever you're going, as long as you can navigate the often-plowed snow (wheelchairs, crutches, and other mobility obstacles might be an exception).
