At exactly 0°C
You are at the cold end of this range. If it is windy or you will be out after dark, borrow the outer layer from the freezing guide.
If the morning sits around -5°C, start with the outer layer from the freezing guide; by an afternoon near 3°C you will want it off.
If it rains at 0°C: swap the outer layer for a water-resistant one and choose leather or rubber-soled shoes.
Below 5°C the scarf and gloves matter as much as the coat.
