Thanks Meri-Tuuli!
The waterproof jacket and pants are a good idea, unfortunately I don't have any. I should make a note to buy some! I am bringing a down winter jacket. It's not waterproof, but it's a little water resistant.
The hat and gloves are a very good idea. I'll bring one. Thanks!
This time 2 years ago I went meteor shower watching and I got mildly hypothermic. It was warm enough for a T-shirt during the day, but at night even a down jacket wasn't enough. It was really damp so that didn't help. I was shivering sooo bad. Then I would stop shivering and then start again. I was stumbling and everything. Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and went inside a heated car.
