When I was up north in winter snow it actually felt warmer and comfortable. "Down here" winter is wet, soggy, windy, with melting ice sheets and slurries. It is rare we get a nice dry snow. I have to change them into dry clothing upon coming in daily. Leggings just won't work for that.
Fleece lined jeans or sweats work better here. Layers preferred to keep skin dry as long as possible.
