Not sure if I need to review my pack list - advice needed

Hello

I am leaving for Spain in two weeks time and start my walk from Pamplona on 9/4 - with all the recent reports on the snow and weather conditions I am now confused as to what to take and ask for your input/advice on the following as I am going to collect my final items from the shops this weekend:

- I had decided to take some light weight gloves which were wind proof to keep my hands warm - do you think they should also be waterproof (they would be bigger/heavier and bulkier)
Waterproofing is a great idea, because dryers aren't always available and when they are they aren't cheap. Size isn't as much an issue, because they can dangle off your pack and gloves aren't very heavy regardless

- I had decided to take a wide brimmed hat - should I also take a woolen beanie or something similar?
I'm with Santos, a toque would keep you very warm, here in Canada we love them, and we know cold

- Do you think it would be worthwhile to take long Johns (thermal type long legged underwear) to sleep in at night and to possible wear under my pants during the day ?
Not a bad idea, but make sure that they pack up small

I dont want to take more than I have to but are concerned that some of the above items may now be required due to the change in conditions.

I appreciate advice on all or any of the above items or of other items I may need due to the conditions

Regards Glen
