Burrell, I've done fine in DC winters (which is usually just a few degrees warmer than Philadelphia) with a lined trench coat, as long as it stays out of record low territory. DC over the next few days is supposed to be cold (by DC standards -- highs in the low 30s F) but not record-breaking, and dry.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Two schools of thought on the coat: (a) You won't be outside much, if you're going airport-cab-hotel-cab-airport. (b) IT'S FREEZING!!!! And your work stuff will all be in the hotel?
I'd bring the warmest coat you have.

They are dinosaurs that are still alive, Jesse, you think they can't be academic?

I'd go barn coat, Burrell. Who's going to see you? And I would guess lush is probably likely on sidewalks given my limited exposure to urban cold-weather - can you get Yaktrax or the like? [link]

There's nothing on the ground here, and I'm guessing nothing in Philly, either.

Hmm, so warmest coat possible? Yipes, was worried about that. Should have tried to borrow a proper coat but I have been in a weird place lately and not good at reaching out to people.

That is a bird that will mess you up. And it might be because you have not cited your sources properly.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Do you have another layer, like a fleece cardigan, that you can wear under the trench? Layers are the key to cold weather.
