Is it too early to talk about very warm, very dry winter coats?

[NoseyNooNoo]

The school drop off and pick up was hell last winter. I was constantly wet and cold - I remember my back being particularly cold and I want to be better prepared this year.

So, I want a long coat, preferably below the knee that is warm and waterproof. I have no idea what is fashionable this year but would like to not look like a sack of potatoes if at all possible.

Is it too early to be thinking about such coats?

I have Northface snow boots and never had sweaty feet they were useless on the ice though good in snow. Also have Celtic sheepskin boots and feet never sweat in those only wear these on none wet days. I have a good pair of walking boots that were better on the ice but now have YAX TRAX for ice packed pavements.

I haven't heard of Yax trax but they look excellent!
