The states seem to get an unusual amount of snow this year? Or rather season I should say, as it began in 2010. Or at least that's what it seems like from my Twitter/journal feeds.

Boots is always needed with crappy weather, I hate freezing my feet off and I've been living in my suede Bronx boots with sheepskin lining \0/ They're high enough to not have snow creeping inside when I plod through the snow and thicksoled enough to keep me warm :D

Good luck with buying a new pair!
