Now I am a real Russian. I bought myself one of those Russian hats with the ear flaps. It wasn't cheap ($160) but I like it, and sometimes you just have to splurge. I mean you're only in Russia once, right? This kind of purchase is "good for one's soul" as my host parents said.
It will keep my whole head nice and toasty for the last month of the Russian winter, and from what I've been seeing on the news lately about the weather in DC, it will come in handy next year too!
Here is a picture of me with my new "Ushanka" (hat with ear flaps):
