A1 If I am having the deal with cold weather I do enjoy going ice skating and I like the cute little themed pop ups that have heated lamps that are really cosy and warm #PTtravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie We're not geared up for heat either, hence how railway tracks melt in summer. #pttravel

replying to @GWMtravels @GWMtravels @kate_frankie Good shout, I went to Malta in December 2017 and it was so nice to run away from the cold winter weather #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @RTWBarefoot #pttravel My main fear is the numpties who think watching a couple of episodes of 'Ice Road Truckers' gives them all the winter driving skills they need!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A2: On really cold days I zip my fleece up. In exceptional conditions I wear a hat. Assuming I don't lose it somewhere along the way.

replying to @WorldTravelWM @WorldTravelWM I agree that snow, ice or frost/mist is beautiful in photos. I fell in love with ice in #Antarctica. It was different every day #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie Honestly don’t know how we have never made it to a point where our transport systems can cope in different weather situations, I once had to walk three hours home from work because the trains stopped and the traffic was a complete standstill because of snow #PTTravel

@kate_frankie I don't have a pic of it, but tbf it's a great hat. Bought in China many years ago. It has furry flaps that cover the ears, cheeks, and chin.

@kate_frankie A1. Short answer: no 🤣, I hate cold weather.
But there are good things you can do in winter, for example searching for Northern Lights or simply look at starry skies (usually clearer in winter).

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. I like winter, because crowds are fewer. The downside, however, is that days are short and some places keep “winter hours” meaning they close entirely over Christmas and New Year’s. #pttravel

A2 #pttravel When I went to Europe in Dec. 2015, I bought a battery powered coat for the trip expecting snow and cold. Europe was having one of their warmest winters in over a generation, I hardly used it. I did find use for it during my New Year trip to NYC later on.

A2 #PTTravel My go-to brand is usually Mountain Equipment (the duvet jacket in the picture is nearly 30 years old!) But, I have a lot of Helly Hansen and Regatta stuff, too,

replying to @WorldTravelWM @WorldTravelWM @kate_frankie I definitely think holiday snow is a different ball game. I went to Switzerland and had the best time but yet at home I can’t bare the slightest hint that snow is coming #PTTravel

replying to @Gotmybackpack @Gotmybackpack @kate_frankie I think 'damp' is a great word to describe the UK climate. Not wet, damp. #pttravel almost mouldy.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I actually hate having to layer up in the winter but honestly can’t cope without my huge scarf. It’s so big that I can wear it as a scarf and use it as a cover to protect from the rain but I don’t know the brand as tags always annoy me and I cut them off #PTTravel

@kate_frankie A2: I recommend layers: various, diverse and many.
And of course suitable shoes for the planned activities.
... or a nice swimsuit if flying to Tropics 🤣

@GlamGlitzGloss @kate_frankie My friend knitted me a scarf once.
She forgot to stop.
As such it works very very well! #pttravel

@kate_frankie A2: I love my Patagonia Nano Puff jacket, which I got as a gift from work 😍. On a trip last week to Southern California, this jacket saved my ass. It also looks good on me 😂, I get compliments when I am wearing it 😜.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. Nothing too fancy. My signature winter look over the past few years has consisted of @rab_equipment gloves (third pair), @MountainWHouse jacket (second) and @nature_scot hat (second) - maybe my most prized item of clothing. #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie Amazing 😂😂 I’m imagining the most insanely endless scarf #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 I think wool or polar fleece is great for winter because it's warm when wet. For boots, we wear Canadian brands like Kamik or Baffin (I'm wearing them now). Waterproof is better! Think ski gloves, ski jackets and insulated rainboots. #PTTravel

replying to @GlamGlitzGloss @GlamGlitzGloss @kate_frankie #pttravel My wife bought a long scarf in Tallinn; you can tun one end in, and it becomes a woolly hat with scarf attached'

@kate_frankie A2. I've never traveled where I've needed a winter coat, etc. Save that for when I'm home. Usually just stick with a leather jacket and my Tilley hat.

@GlamGlitzGloss @kate_frankie Hehehe. I don't think any photos exist of me clearly wearing it. It's definitely longer than your average scarf.
