I'd go with two coats, personally. You have your regular winter coat from the lower 48 (if you have one, you say you're from the south, HA) which will do you fine through December, but I have this one heavy-ass faux suede with shearling that weighs about 10-15 pounds and it's nice and toasty with a sweater on to -40 and below (trust me, I survived Barrow) and sometimes on rare days the wind can get that cold down here. Fashion doesn't matter when it comes to the super cold. It doesn't have to be expensive, either. Also, down is your friend. You might look like a tire walking around but you'll be warm.
You're definitely gonna want some dude-tights. Army surplus cotton kind, smartwool kind, Under armor, doesn't matter, you're gonna want that underlayer, you can always take it off later if you get too warm indoors.
Gloves are a must, especially if you're gonna cold-start your plugged-in car rather than having autostart. You might want to keep a pair of light leather driving gloves in your car for when your engine is warmed up but your cab isn't. I've been driving sometimes where my bare hands would go numb from touching the cold plug, pulling the door handle open with my sleeve, and driving with my sleeves on my hands. Not fun, painful, and kind of dangerous. The cloth gloves you can get for a couple of bucks will do you okay at the beginning but you'll want to have a pair that has a shell as well (kind of like your winter coat setup)
Scarves/mufflers are optional but recommended for when you don't feel like you want ice forming in your nostrils/on your cheeks from breathing and the wind's blowing in your face or if you have cold-sensitive teeth.
Hats are a must as well to keep frostbite from your ears, and 10% of your body heat escapes from your head. Basically any covering will do there, though, even a baseball cap helps (but not your ears).
Aaand boots. People swear by bunny boots and I get it, but for the most part unless you're going to be walking a whole bunch, doing outdoor work, or what have you outside, go by temperature rating and make sure it's in the negatives. Make sure they cover your calves up to a point because you walk through snow, you're gonna sink up to your shin or even up to your hip at some point.
In link format, your jumping off points are:
Coat 1
Coat 2 if you're bad at layering or lazy
Dude tights
Gloves
Optional light gloves
Boots like these
Oh, and ice grippers to slip on your boots. We don't salt roads, so it gets really slick, especially when it rains after it snows like it did last winter.
University Lake is fantastic for dogs. You'll need a headlamp for night and also you see a lot of people who put lights on their dogs. The Delaney Park Strip downtown is good (West end is best) as well as the fenced softball field at Valley of the Moon park at 17th and E. That's become an unofficial dog park.
We love these light up dog balls - you can play fetch in the dark! https://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-MTLP-08-07-MeteorLight-Disc/dp/B001QC9DTU
I bought these off Amazon, they're great... cheap, strong, and they fold easily to fit in my purse so I never forget them.

This light is cheaper and better. Has a built in timer. I've had mine for 8 years and it's still going strong! The ion "therapy" is a quack, it's an ozone generator. But the rest of the light is awesome!

I'm glad you said something because I wouldn't have known anything about this. I'm using a very small 5lb gas cylinder like this. Do you think Air Liquide would have any concern about this tank? I was planning on putting it in the back seat of my 4runner..
Yeah. Different seats. I can't find a picture online. But they were this size, with cushion on butt and back. And they were linked together, with a wire Frame bracket, so there was around 1.5" between chairs. I had to peope in front of me, women probably 120lbs guy maybe 150. They were even overlapping the area of chair. Particularly at the shoulders

Depends on where you work, if your job is selling something to someone you might want to dress up in suit and tie, or if you're upper management that might be a requirement.
I can tell you all the places I've worked (~200 employee construction/engineering companies) old carharts, costco flannels and comfort shoes seem to be common from the grunts to the company owners.
If you'll be in an office, not interacting with clients on a daily basis, you might go with a nice pair of dark chino's, and a gingham button up, but skip the tie and jacket. Clarks desert boots for office work, but if you'll be running around outdoors you might invest in some Redwing Iron Rangers. For warmth, think several layers instead of some massive parka.
I think some of the best places to shop are going to be Nordstrom's, Banana Republic, Gap, and if you can stomach it, JCPenney (they have a good selection of Levi's at least). Costco is good for thermals, and cheap thick socks. I'd suggest checking out /r/malefashionadvice and be prepared to buy online and get things tailored.
Avoid Sears, Old Navy, American Eagle, Abercrombie, and Burlington's, low quality and you'll have to replace it next year.
Stallone's is a local menswear shop but really their selection is for fat old men who want to mask the shape of their body, and have no idea why someone would want "tailored" or "fitted" clothing. Plus their commissioned salesmen are hit or miss, as far as how pushy they are.
Boot Country is great for getting Vibram soles on your dress shoes but you can also hit up Fireweed Shoe Repair (I'd avoid Era's, they nearly destroyed my Wolverine 1000 Miles).
It's easy to overdress here, we were voted the worst dressed city back in 2012:

Edit: as far as boots and backup shoes, I tried this for awhile, and it was a pain in the ass, just get some SnoSeal and do a layer, let it dry overnight, then do a second layer
Edit2: Aaand I just read your username and now realize this guide really only works for guys
Happy lamp.
Might not be enough depending on the island, but...
