Is it possible to keep warm in snow biome?

[Dogma]

I set up shop in a prefab factory style place in the snow. I have been keeping the fire going constantly. I am loaded down with clothes on as well. The question is what material can I use to keep warm? Or do i just need lots of fires constantly?

animal hide if you dont know leatherworking, leather if you do. Find a Duster (+20) of Puffer Coat (+30). Oh, and the beanie. Dont wear face rag.

I spend lots of time in the snaw biome right now and only need to warm at a fire occasionally.

Do not wear shades, bandanas, football helmets, plant fiber/cowboy hats, or iron armor in a snow zone. They all reduce warmth. Scrap armor actually adds warmth (3-5 degrees) Duster or puffer coat is pretty much a requirement. As are the warm skullcap hats (can't remember name, description says they'll make you wish every day was the first day of winter). Goggles and aviator goggles provide minor protection without reducing heat. Being indoors also provides some warmth. Night time is also significantly colder. You can see the outdoors temperature on the Map screen.

The chest armor and leg armor slots can help provide some extra heat in addition to whatever clothes you have. Hide or leather would be best.
My own cold weather gear has been longsleeve shirt, jeans, warm skullcap thing, duster coat, scrap glove/boots/chest/legs, and goggles. I might be able to swap the skullcap for a mining helmet if I use a puffer coat instead of a duster. I have to remove the shirt if I'm indoors very long.

I'm not familiar with how factory prefabs act in the snow, so I don't know if they properly count as "indoors" for body heat purposes. Small cabins sometimes don't seem to be considered indoors. I am also unfamiliar with player-made structures in snow.
I do know that the major stores work for heat if you're around the center or back toward the bathrooms.

Multiple fire sources do not seem to stack, so being near a campfire AND a forge has no benefit.
Coffee provides a temporary warmth increase. Red tea reduces warmth. Being "wet" also makes you colder. Being a little wet is unavoidable when it snows. I assume "waterproof" affects wetness, but can't say if it actually matters or not.

edit: confused insulation and waterproof. Fixed.

I have a bunker in a snow biome. I wear leather armor, puffer jacket, the usual clothes (jeans, shirt etc), Goggles and mining helmet and I get by just fine, especially if I'm keeping busy.

plaid shirt, puffer coat, duster, beanie give the biggest +temp boosts. I can even stick with full iron armour which gives significant -ve temp when I've got that puffer coat on!

Thanks peeps, one more question.... Can you plant a garden in the snow?

I've not done this myself (yet) I believe you have to dig down to dirt though to grow in the snow. Temps have no bearing on plants (yet). If anything will grown on the snow I reckon it would be corn. Corn grows so easy in 7d2d.

Instead of digging down you could just transplant "fertile dirt" from a non-snow area as well.
