Welcome. I moved up here from Los Angeles. For clothes, it depends on how good you want to look. Patagonia is warm, long lasting and attractive. If you don't care, go to Fleet Farm (maybe Menards, but they are very hit and miss) and get a pair of good bunny boots, several pair of merino wool socks, poly/cotton blend long underwear, fleece lined pants, long sleeved thermals, fleece lined, long sleeved shirts, wool sweaters, neck gaiters, a few knit hats, a full parka, a wind breaker/rainslicker, one pair of lined gloves, one pair of fleece lined mittens to put over the gloves. If you can avoid the worst days of winter, it's important to go outside a little everyday. The bright blue sky day, or gray, snowy evening really call to you. Oh, and it you're going to be outside "in nature", get a bright orange vest and bright orange hat (also at Fleet Farm or Menards (I do not work at Fleet Farm or Menards)).
