    Last winter was up at the Grand Canyon. Was 8 degrees F and clear with wind and vertical updrafts at the edge of the canyon.

    Had on my Utilikilt brown leather kilt, t-shirt, wool sweater, vest, and leather jacket with Wolverine boots. Was walking mostly.



    Three years ago I was at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in my Forest MARPAT from Pittsburgh Kilts (cotton) a Filson wool cruiser jacket and boots. Very cold and windy, probably in the mid 20s F. Was nice and toasty until I lifted the kilt at the urinal in an unheated restroom. All the accumulated warm air under the kilt spilled out and it was COLD for a while until the warm air built up again.

    Been up about 10 to 11,000 feet in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. No clue what the temp was, but cold and windy.


    Utilikilt Survival II (cotton) wool kilt hose, tennis shoes, t-shirt and replica Ike Jacket from What Price Glory.

    And, up in the Sandia Mountains above Albuquerque...no clue how cold but cold and wet in my X Marks the Scot wool kilt and leather jacket.



    Point is; I'm an Arizona guy. ANY snow is cold for me...and even cotton kilts keep me warm and toasty. Think you'll be fine in Ohio.
