People who live in cold climates

Can you tell me how you dress in the winter?

I'm trying to work out what sort of clothes I need for this Canadian trip, and I'm confused about what to wear when it's -10 degrees C outside and 20 degrees C inside. See, I'd generally assume that when it's -10 degrees, you want to wear thermal baselayers - but I wouldn't want to wear thermal underwear indoors. So I'm trying to figure out what order you put the layers on in.

Also, sitting in a wheelchair, I get colder than people who are walking around. But I'm loathe to get one of those wheelchair-user leg-cosy things in case I need to stand up for some reason.

We're arriving on Tuesday 28th January, and staying for a minimum of two weeks. Richard isn't sure if the job he's been sent to do will be finished within that time.

I actually found knitted touch-screen gloves made of synthetic yarn, so I can double-layer them with thicker gloves most of the time and wear them alone when I need to use my phone. Hurrah! (I've only been looking for touch-screen gloves I can wear for about 3 years :) ).

Darn. Too soon for me to get more work gloves and forward a pair on to you. :( But because they're pretty good, and cheap, when I do order more for myself, I'll grab some for you.
