South of you in Portland (via Montana), I finally got rid of my insulated boots after a couple of years. I'm finding that a waterprood lightweight hiking shoe/boot with wool socks is plenty for me, and I'm cold-natured. Still haven't figured out how to keep my wands warm and dry beyond about 5 miles, though. It was easier in the dry cold.
