I recently attended a funeral. It was -25 degrees Celsius (that's -13 Fahrenheit), windy and snowing. The ceremony in the church was fine but standing outside during the actual burial was not very pleasant. Afterward I could hardly feel my fingers/toes.
I found myself thinking that I definitely need a flannel suit as one of those would be warmer but I can't help but wonder; would it really be all that much warmer? Could it withstand the onslaught of Finnish winter? Seems to me suits were not designed to be worn in -25 degree weather (let's not even mention dress shoes). On the other hand, one *should* feel miserable at funerals so I guess it is suitable in a sense.
What would you wear in these weather conditions on such an occasion?
