I grew up in Indiana and grew up calling the face shield a ski mask.
Hi, Canadian here🇨🇦. One thing that's important to mention is that the right "winter objects" can be a matter of life and death. It can be rough.
"Snow Shoes" that were referenced are actually called Galoshes. Actual snow shoes are the tennis racket looking items for the feet that are meant to distribute your weight over a wider area so that you don't sink deeper in the snow as you walk through it.
US resident here. I've only ever heard that called a ski mask or balaclava, never face shield. I'd call it a ski mask or balaclava (or baklava if I've mixed up the mask and the dessert again). Face shield definitely makes me think of those plastic things dentists and surgeons wear that started to be more common in public due to the global contagion.
Speaking of snow shoveling being "hard labor," Outside the Midwest, there are probably very few references to "heart attack snow" Heart Attack Snow is a kind of heavy, wet snow that pikes up quickly and there are always reports of people having heart attacks and dying while shoveling it. The local weather forecasters in Wisconsin actually use the phrase "heart attack snow" to describe the type of snow we are expecting to get.
I live in Chicago, and I rarely see anyone wearing Wellies for snow, occasionally for spring rain, but not in snow. We require boots with insulation and good sole tread.
Thing about the States is, it's really big. We have numerous climates, so where you are dictates the gear you use. For example, where I live in Wyoming regularly gets to -20° Fahrenheit during the winter and twelve-foot snow drifts are not uncommon, so I'm very familiar with everything in the video. Someone from Southern California, on the other hand (as demonstrated by the numerous transplants in recent years), has likely never seen snow and certainly never learned to drive in it, let alone experienced the joys of black ice.
Based on the comments Laurence may be the only person in the US calling it a face shield. I'm in South Dakota and use balaclava (ski mask also works).
It’s also called a ski mask. As skiers use them to keep cold off their face.
Another thing that’s indispensable on a Midwestern farm is Yak-Trax. They’re coiled spiky things that stretch over boots to add extra grip on the ice. Our pasture has a steep slope, and I can’t stay on my feet without using Yak-Trax and coarse grit for traction.
Growing up in Michigan we call those ski masks. And I love shoveling snow at night. Just something about the calm quiet after a snowfall is so peaceful. Snow blowers are loud and make snow removal more complicated to me. I have a small driveway though.
I'm from Southern California, and when we moved to the midwest, I saw snow fall for the first time and was amazed that my hair did not get wet. My winter coat was as useless as a t shirt, and my sneakers were always soaked. I had to buy a wool coat and boots. I also saw a nice sort of red hood that extended into a scarf. Cross the ends in the front and your neck and head stay fairly warm, even in the iciest weather. Oh, and ice storms! In the morning, the sun shone through the bare trees that looked like they were made of glass! So beautiful--I guess that's why they call it a winter wonderland.
The last Winter object - Face Shield
Northern Wisconsin USA - love your comment about how your work will tell you it’s ok if you can’t make it into work in the bad weather. Whereas here, even if you have to drive 30 miles to work going 20 mph, after digging out your car and driveway, you best not be late to work! It’s usually not acceptable to be late due to the weather, especially if you work at a factory or retail type job.
Well! It never actually occurred to me that not everyone knows what these things are. I live in Maine and they're just so normal I never gave them a second thought. Another item that you didn't mention- and maybe this is mostly something that rural people do- but a winter emergency kit in your car in case you break down on a remote country road in minus 20 degree temperatures, or get stranded in a blizzard. Also, a lot of folks around here have snow mobiles. It's a hefty purchase, but again a very normal thing to have next to your snow blower and your wood pile...Oh, also studded snow tires are a normal thing, and sometimes tire chains if you live down an icy dirt road
My wife and I were in the UK a couple years ago and kept hearing reports on the radio about the heat wave they were having and how people should check on their cattle and other animals. The heat was expected to be in the mid-80's Fahrenheit (roughly 30° C). That's a pretty normal temperature for us. Just this last summer, Anaheim, CA (where we live) hit a record high of 114° F (45.5° C).
Minnesotan here (usa) I've dealt with some pretty chilly winters (-70 f with wind chill its about -56.66 c) and the few things ive heard of people using is pretty crazy one lady survived on candies she'd had in her glove box point is a survival kit is a must anywhere in this country (usa)
US citizen here, reporting in. I lived in the UK from 1982 to 1985. I recall it snowing one winter, and it was quite the rare occasion. I was familiar with layering for the weather so was able to bundle up and go make anatomically correct snow families in our front yard. Our neighbours stayed indoors for the most part, and I don't think much was open. I also remember nice weather being so rare that school would sometimes close for SUN days, whereas in the US, schools will close for SNOW days. 🤣
The face shield is definitely a ski mask. I remember reading "balaclava" in Harry Potter and confusing it with "baklava" and was wondering why there was pastry on faces.
When I was a kid, to keep our feet extra dry and warm, we would stick 2 pairs of socks and put them in plastic grocery bags, then stick them in boots. The plastic bag keeps your feet dry if you dont have the best waterproof boots and warm and keeps the wind chill out.
