Gee, I haven't seen Reemay that would protect more than 3 degrees. A
friend figured each layer would protect by 3 degrees, so if the temp was
going to drop 6 degrees, for instance, she'd use two layers. I think it
worked for her. But remember that cold falls, and the temps you get from
the weather bureau are for temperatures 5 feet above ground level. It may
be 6 degrees colder at ground level than at the measuring station. Margaret L
