Nice larry. Only thing I can add is that if you're sans snowshoes, make sure you have a solid pair of insulated waterproof boots, with wool socks. I spent the night before TABBIT sealing my bean boots and they kept me dry, but I tried to stay out of the really slushy areas. A friend of mine was out on the RI ice this past weekend and was getting splash over top of his servus boots- Can make for a cold and rough day. A good tall chair to sit in is key also.

I'm thinking about picking up a pair of muck boots for work and for the slushy days on the ice. Wearing oilskin bibs might also be a good idea- wear them over the boots and put hefty rubber bands around your ankles. Haven't needed to do it myself, but it seems like it would work well.
