Get a flu shot, stay inside, hibernate, move to Florida, I don't know. Keep calm, lots of people do survive the winter every year.

My wife grew up in Siberia and absolutely hates the cold, and yet she chose to come to Michigan :) .  She traveled back to her former hometown last year in January and endured 10 days of -40 C/F.  As @geowrian mentioned, layers and layers.  There are many clothing manufacturers that make thermal wear that is not too bulky.

 

Good Luck!

And I have the heat 😉 

 

Like others say get some good clothes that actually warms you and if you have the opportunity then move to another part of America that fits you better :)

I've lived in the North my whole life and still not used to it.  After Christmas I want Spring.   Warm socks and gloves lots of Vaseline for dry skin is a must.

 

If you desire to live where you are you can always become a snow bird and travel South for the Winter.   Lots do it around here unfortunately for me it hasn't worked out yet.

I was raised in Canada and cannot take the cold anymore.  All I can say is turn up the heat inside, dress warm when going out, and move south to a warmer climate.  And I worry about about next year when my husband finally moves here to California from very warm Brazil.

California and you're complaining? I live in Iowa. It's like negative degrees the whole winter. I haven't seen the Sun in 3 weeks....

I love the California climate, it's perfect in my opinion.  It's my husband I'm worried about since it is tropical and hot there all year.  Stay warm in Iowa!
