Hi, great stuff, just wanted to add : Make sure to take a good shower or bath before leaving home, clogged up oily skin and laid down hair is a very poor insulator. I'm no Ice Fishing guru but no stranger to conditions that can kill the ignorant before they realize they're in trouble.
Speaking personally, when I'm fresh clean, I am good for several hours in proper dress in the worst of Northwest winters , if I am not, I am chilled in little time no matter what I am wearing.

Smokers, like myself, you plan to be out in winter extremes, find an alternative i.e. gum, not chew or just don't smoke. Nicotine administrations cause an immediate constriction of the fine end points of your vascular system meaning the nice warm blood pumped out of your heart wont effectively circulate to those fingers and toes, nose and ears, areas most prone to frostbite.
