With the big freeze coming, how do you keep boys' legs warm on the school run?

Do people tend to put thermals under the trousers, put on a big old snow suit, or something else? Just trying to get organised before everything sells out! Thanks in advance

Russian - 2 year old here manages to pull pants, tights and trousers down without peeing all over them so I'm sure most school age can

Knee length (or just above) wool shorts

Im talking about children, mainly boys who are wearing 2 layers under their trousers and 3 or 4 layers on their upper bodies. Not a just a pair of pants, tights and trousers.

I just put rain trousers on over their school trousers.

I used to take mine to school in normal uniform but swop normal vest for a thermal one.
No extra layers for inside as schools are bloody hot germ breeding cess pits. Grin Hat, gloves and maybe scarf is all you'll need. Wellies if raining.

They don't clear the paths here, either. The priority is to keep the main roads open. When the grit starts to run out, as it did a couple of years ago, they even re-route the buses so they don't have to clear as many roads.

As soon as people start to clear their drives and pile the snow up, either side, the pavements become completely impassible on foot.

We get plenty of use out of the waterproof trousers, apart from snow, as it pisses down for much of the summer, most years.
