How To Face Canadian Winter (Text correction and tips are welcome) Hi everybody. Well, I'm heading to Toronto next February so I want to get some tips from who has already faced its winter. I'm kinda scary about that, I live in Brazil and here we don't have such winter. The coldest part of the year usually lasts from late May until September, even though it's already hot since couple weeks ago and we are in September, so you may figure out our winter mostly doesn't last so much. You can't even find clothes for hard winter here. Without further ado, If somebody could give me some tips like what kind of clothes should I take? Or if I should buy clothes when I get there. What should I wear to leave the airport heading home? Considering I'll leave Brazil with about 35ºC and get Toronto with roughly -5ºC or less. Thanks in advance!

How To Face Canadian Winter (Text correction and tips are welcome)

Hi everybody. Well, I'm heading to Toronto next February so I want to get some tips from who has already faced its winter. I'm kinda scary about that, I live in Brazil and here we don't have such winter. The coldest part of the year usually lasts from late May until September, even though it's already hot since a couple weeks ago and we are in September, so you may figure out our winter mostly doesn't last long so much. You can't even find clothes for hard winter here.

The Toronto could be a lot colder than that, but definite don't come without clothes designed for -20C to -30C. Where I live in the country, -35C with a strong wind could have a wind-chill factor of -45 or so. I posted a sort story about living in my area, which is about 1000km east of Toronto and far away from urban services. I'm not wanting to scare you away, but it gives you and idea.

One suggestion, take a look at some of the Canadian clothing stores where you might get some idea of what you need.  Here are few links, but make sure you buy what you need, not what they want to sell you as winter clothes are expensive.
