Man the fuck up and adapt to the cold weather.
If you get heavy snow, if the sidewalks\roads haven't been plowed you are not going to have class.

Pretty much. I prefer the heat but lived in Boston for 5 years during some pretty bad winters. Jeans are the only thing I found that won't roast you once you get inside.

You can also get a wool top coat, they generally end a bit below the knees and you can sometimes find them with removable insulated liners. You can wear them with just about anything and I find them warmer than trench coats. the only real drawback I find with them is since they are commonly single breasted instead of the typical double breasted trench coat they can let in a bit of cold air up front if you don't keep it wrapped up. You can find 100% wool ones easily in your budget and I've come across some 100% cashmere ones for your budget number.

Good luck and say goodbye to shorts for 6 months of the year.
