Yup, living in Maine we spent our winters digging snow caves and tunnels. Covered in snow head to toe by evening, bread bags helped for sure, and helped getting boots on and off.
Growing up on the shore in the 60's and 70's it never really snowed enough or stayed around long enough to do something like that. If you could stay in for 2-3 days you wouldn't even need boots.
We had waterproof rubber boots. But not insulated with much more than a thin piece of fabric. After playing all day in the snow our socks would be wet from sweat and our feet cold, cold, cold.
