So, I felt like an ice cube.
So, having 'learned' from this experience, I purchased an Under Armor cold weather undershirt and some nice socks. It was a bit better, but the wind was bitter cold and I was still shivering. I noticed that some of the others wore Majestic heavy pull overs. Does anyone else have them? What else can I do to keep comfortable and not be immobile ?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Welcome to the Great Northwest!
It wore out but I loved my navy blue wool turtleneck! And I'm never without my McDavid's!
Remember, Shirt sleeve weather will be 60 degrees! And be careful when it gets to the 80's! By that time you will have acclimated and heatstroke is a real possibility.
And get good raingear.
