You definitely need a winter coat. One with a hood is my recommendation. Get good gloves and a knit hat too. The vest is fine for temps above 50.

Thanks for specifying a temperature where I could just use a vest! Will list that down for future reference.

It’s also going to take you a while to acclimate and understand how it all works. Layering is really the key. I haven’t seen anyone mention a scarf, but I find keeping my neck cozy goes a long way toward overall warmth. It’s also a good windblock, because the cold, damp wind will go everywhere — down your jacket, up your jacket, up your sleeves or pantlegs.

There’s a moment when you step outside and your whole body braces against the cold. I’ve lived here most of my life and still haven’t found a way to stop it.
