Just wondering what it's like wearing a kilt in this sort of weather... or do some of you choose ano alternative? (btw, would it be alright to wear a trench coat if you're wearing a kilt?)
The Inverness Cape is the kilting equivalent of the trench coat.

I've slept in the snow in a "great kilt" before. In sleet, you'd better have a darned good reason to be out and about - without a really good reason, I'd build a shelter and stay in it until the sleet stopped.
