So all I'm asking for as christmas gifts this year is running clothes and gear - specifically stuff designed for very cold weather and snowy/icy conditions. Never had to get gear for these temperatures. Suggestions on gear and brands is very much appreciated. TIA.

Under Armour has some good stuff. I didn't use it for working out but used it for the middle of DC's winter. It worked fine.

gloves and hat are important

get a jacket that is wind/water resistant, don't go cheap here

I don't have much experience running on ice/snow, but I would suggest running in trail shoes with more grip or using the chains

I can't run with anything on my legs no matter how cold it gets, so I can't help you with that

I'm a big fan of Sugoi. You can find some good deals on Sierra Trading Post sometimes.

As others have said, hats and gloves are important.

Outer layers with zippers are good too. Because you're burning calories, you're generating a lot of heat. The trick is to trap just enough to keep you warm. If you trap too much, you'll sweat too much... You can unzip part way to release excess heat.

One of these, a balaclava, is also pretty killer for the coldest of the cold days...

I like the Nike HyperWarm. The ones I have are thicker in the chest and stomach area to keep you warm and thinner in the sleeves so you can still get some ventilation.
