today shattered a 20+ year-old record where i'm at: it snowed the most it's snowed in a single day, and the day ain't over, yet. i'm not certain of amounts in terms of inches, but i'm guessing more than 14 inches. not too much, relative to other parts of the world, but a lot for here.

under my mesh-topped, well-vented (read: not designed for winter-riding) shimano spd's, i was wearing three pairs of socks with a set of plastic shopping bags thrown in for extra bag-lady caché, and my feet STILL managed to be soaked to the bone and frozen in a matter of minutes!

i'd been looking at Sealskin Waterproof socks at a LBS for a while, but am having a hard time stomaching the spendy price-tag. over-shoes are outta the question, i'd rather go back to representing the homeless-coalition.

i know there was a similar, cold-weather gear thread a while back. but specifically, what do you wear to keep your FEET warm and dry?
