If a person is traveling at 40 miles per hour, how long does it take to 1 mile? -

40 miles/hour=40 miles / 60 minutes=1 mile / 1.5 minutesTherefore it takes you 1.5 minutes, or 1 minute and 30 seconds, to travel one mile :)

40miles/60minutes = 2/3rd mile/minute== 1.5min/mile

Going to Boston,late January.What type of outerwear should be appropriate to stay warm? -

Im going to Boston for a week,late Jan.Will wool be fine to keep me warm,or Thinsulate,or anything better...I really like the American Eagle wool outerwear stuff,but Im afraid that it looks pretty,but it wont keep me warm.Are there any American Eagle stores in Canada,or similiar stores there?I dont live there,but some of my family live there,and they are visiting me in about a week or so.I live FAR away,in an urban desert,and have never EVER seen snow before(except in one of those artifical snow parks!).PLEASE guide me!Any extra tips will totally be appreciated! Thanks!!!

Wow, these other people are trying to scare you. It might be really cold out but if you re dressed correctly you ll be plenty warm.The best thing to do is to dress in thin layers of clothing and if you get too warm you can always remove something.I wear a layer of silk underwear consisting of socks, long johns, and undershirt. Over that I would wear wool socks with slacks/jeans and a shirt. Over that I might wear a fleece vest. Over the vest I would wear a warm windproof/waterproof jacket, it doesn t have to be too heavy because the layers will keep you plenty warm.Don t forget some waterproof boots/sneakers with a warm hat and also waterproof insulated gloves (mittens are even warmer) with a silk liner. If your coat doesn t have a hood then wear a scarf on windy days. If it is below zero degrees farenheit then also wear a balaclava which covers the face and head:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balaclava_(��A snowsuit would also work but they are big and bulky and are more suitable for when you are outside for long periods of time with little physical exertion like when you are ice fishing or snowmobiling.

The temperatures in Boston in late January can range from the low 60s to below zero. The cold can be accompanied often by a biting wind. Obviously bring clothes for such extremes (a hooded coat is recommended instead of a hat, earmuffs and scarf). And bring insulated, waterproof boots!!!

basically, a parka LOL. I suggest a fleece zip up underneath a down feather jacket- you will need gloves, a hat, and some WARM wool socks. Boots that are waterproof and some warm pants.Gooooood luck!P.S. Temps range in jan from -10 degrees to around 27 degrees so be mindful.

If you want to stay warm, wear fleece. Also, layer up your clothes. Wear a hat (you ll be much colder without anything on your head), gloves, scarf, heavy coat, and warm socks. Focus on staying warm as opposed to looking good.

fleece! and LAYER. it will be cold, probably at least a bit below freezing in january. leggings/long underwear might help too.

underware? Forget that get a snow suit.

Urban Desert where it never snows! Sounds like paradise to me. You really don t want to come here in January. New England winters are downright nasty. No fun at all. just very cold, sometime to the point that it hurts. And the snow, is overrated at best. Snow is cold, wet, ugly and makes the roads dangerous to drive on. You could live a full rewarding life without ever seeing that white sh*t, ever. Trust me on this one. Anyway, to answer your question, you will need a heavy winter coat, some sweaters, gloves, boots and a wool hat, perhaps a scarf. Most days, that will be sufficient, however, on the coldest days of the year, no matter how much you bundle up, you will still be cold. My advice, unless it s absolutely necessary, cancel your trip and come back in the summer. American Eagle stores are common in shopping malls in New England. Here is a store locator for American Ehttp://www.ae.com/web/storelocator/defau��The nearest one to Boston is in the Natick Mall,about 20 miles outside the cityhttp://www.ae.com/web/storelocator/store��

Best thing to wear would be a car with a good heating system.It is going to be so bleeping cold you can t imagine. Listen to the Jimmy Buffett song Boat Drinks , that was written while he was in Boston in February one year.If you want to go for fashion, wear a long black wool coat (below the knees) w/scarf and a hat (stocking hat). You will also want some warm boots (Uggs). You can wrap the scarf up around your face.If you want to go for warmth, change the coat to a long nylon shell down coat (also below the knees) w/scarf and hat and boots. A hood on the coat with a fur (faux fur works) trim to keep the wind out is good too. You can find these coats at LLBean.com, my wife has one.Under that you will want turtle neck shirt and a sweater.Don t forget mittens or gloves.Be aware that if it s snowing or raining the Ugg style boots are not the best choice as they won t keep your feet dry. The key to staying warm is to keep your head, back of your neck and feet warm and dry.

Would a Ford Focus, or something of that nature, be ok for driving from Denver to Vail in the winter? -

My wife and I are considering going to Vail for a ski trip this winter and are on a tight budget. The compact car class with rental cars is much cheaper than the next class up. I m perfectly aware that a compact car would not be ideal, as I have gone on this trip with friends before and we were able to split the cost of an SUV with 4x4, but my wife and I just cannot afford how much they are charging for an SUV. I figured with it being I-70, they do a pretty good job of keeping the roads clear anyway, unless there is a huge blizzard, in which nobody needs to be driving...haha Thanks!!

I ve been driving Ford Focuses in metro Denver for 10 years now. Most front wheel drive do pretty good in the snow ( 1-6 ) after that it gets a little iffy. The low profile. If you don t get caught in a storm, you ll be fine. Good luck.

How experienced are you with driving on ice and snow? They plow I-70 but not down to pavement. It frequently has packed snow and ice. Still dangerous to drive with a very small car unless you are very experienced. If it snows, they clear some of the snow and the rest stays on the Hwy until it melts. I lived in the mountains for many years, and slid up and down I-70 many times. I wouldn t have driven it in anything but my all-wheel drive.

We drove up there in a Nissan Altima (front wheel drive) and it did better than we expected in the snow. We are from the south and in no way experienced with driving in those conditions. I think a Ford Focus would be as good as any. Be careful and have a good trip.

Yeah - just dont drive like an idiot or you ll end up kissing the retaining wall... PS if our on a budget, forget Vail you ll end up spending 100+ on a hotel room, and 50+ a meal. Check out Breckenridge or Keystone.

Sure, why not? just be sure to include the optional tire chains, and make certain they will actually fit the car. Better safe that stranded along the road.

I have a ford focus and live up in Craig. It s a great car in the snow and ice!

i live in Denver too. hi
