Absolutely I would. They're comfy, don't take up much space, and can come in handy. I'm with Moonliner on the gloves and socks- extremities must stay warm. I've never been a fan of hats, and I generally live with getting cold.
Sounds like your existing jacket will be fine, but good boots or shoes might be in order. Definitely gloves; don't know that you need waterproof. Well, maybe if you're planning a snowball fight. Have a smooth trip!

As a fellow polar bear my biggest concern is how much they heat up interior spaces when it's cold out. Drives me nuts to get so hot inside. So while longjohns could very well come in handy, being an undergarment it's less easy to peel them off. I'd say at least get the bottom half, since there are only so many layers that can be added to our legs. The top is up to you. Might be good to have just in case, but in general you will probably prefer to have short sleeves under a big jacket or sweatshirt then jacket. So when you get inside, you can regulate your body temp by going down to shirtsleeves (should balance out the longjohns on your legs)
I'm rambling, but you get the picture.

HI!
|
Even I don't wear long johns and I'm quite thermally challenged.
Warmer socks, shoes with treads, a hat, gloves and a scarf. (If it were me, I'd add "layers" and a warm, ass-covering coat.) |

Thinsulate.
I very quickly learned about that when I moved up there for those couple crazy years. I have still have my thinsulate parka you can borrow, if you like. It's green and not girly. And, if you get too warm, the thinsulate layer comes out. |

Layers.
Honestly, I should get Jason in on this thread. This is the first year in about a decade that he hasn't been in Iowa during February (yes, this will be our first Valentine's Day together). It's almost too bad... the two of you could have met up!
