With the weather getting cold and our first bit of snow, I have found a few items essential for surviving the Boston winter, as a person from the south who has never experienced this cold of weather before. First, and most importantly, a good jacket to keep you warm, followed by a scarf, hat, and gloves too. I recommend looking for sales at the end of spring and summer to get a good discount on these items. A good pair of boots is essential too. You don’t want to slip on ice or get dirty in the water and mud from melted snow. Along with boots, a good pair of thick socks is helpful to keep your feet warm. Next, a heated blanket, for when you’re cold even with the heat turned on. Next, a good hand cream. Along with the cold, Boston’s air is also super dry, so having a good hand and or body cream helps lock in moisture. I would personally recommend trader joe’s hand cream. And lastly, a good travel mug…
