Surviving winter in Copenhagen
Someone told me the temperature can drop to -10C in Copenhagen which is probably outside most people's experience and certainly outside their comfort zone. Googling for weather statistics for Denmark however, reveals that that -10C figure looks very much the exception and around freezing point seems to be the norm there for December. Copenhagen is on the same lattitude as central Scotland though so it may feel distinctly nippy there for us soft southerners. Since the British are notoriously crap at dressing for cold conditions and since I've ventured onto a few cold mountains in my time, I've necessarily learned a bit about staying warm in such conditions which I'm thinking may be useful to pass on to those going to Copenhagen. I could just suggest everyone goes to a good outdoor shop and buys loads of high tech survival stuff but since many activists are on low incomes this advice wouldn't go down very well so here's various cheapo options.
