yup,poly pros are great and micky mouse boots are one of a kind.

up state new yorks "snow belt" region is some of the worst in the country,over 100 inches in 2 days 2 winters ago,and right in that snow belt is FT.DRUM,home of the 10th MTN. DIVISION.

those boys need some serious winter gear and i'm lucky enough to live 40min from base.i get all that good winter gear on surplus.goretex suits all day too.

i gotta get some of those USGI snow shoes.

disclaimer:

dont just go out and try winter camping in harsh conditions.take it slow and know your gears limits and capabilities.
