"There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing." — Billy Connolly

The great thing about New England is that there are four distinct seasons. But that means one is VERY cold. Being prepared is your best defense. You can wait until you get to Cambridge to shop but the weather typically starts to turn in late October/eraly November.

If you are coming from a warm weather climate, you will need, at the minimum, the following items:

• Mid-Layers (The Insulator): Fleece jackets, wool sweaters, or down vests that trap heat.

• Outer Layer (The Shell): A high-quality, insulated parka that is waterproof and windproof. A hood is essential.

• Footwear: Insulated, waterproof boots with good tread for snow and ice.

• Accessories:  Hats that cover ears, scarves, and mittens (warmer than gloves).
