Yes, Uggs are great on cold, snowy days.....just not the wet snow. I have 4 pairs of the boots and one of slippers and the first thing that has to be done with a new pair is: waterproof spray! On the snowier days (here in Michigan) I wear the ones with the more substantial sole (better gripping). For really big snows, I haul out the Sorels...they are totally waterproof and very warm. But, for most of winter, Uggs are so comfy, you don't want to take them off and at the end of the day, putting your feet in the slippers....so nice. So far, I haven't had to get the boots out but I know that day is coming!
