UC Davis - winter rain (what to wear, preparations)

Like what was mentioned in post #12 it’s not going to be that much hotter or colder. Wetter, probably in the winter and early spring. The only specialty shoes my UC-Berkeley kid has is his Air Jordan’s for basketball playing and football cleats. Sandals for inside the dorm and plain ol running shoes for normal walking around, rain or no rain. And a few umbrellas and lots of hoodies. A couple of them waterproof. No jacket. No special pants. A very nice waterproof backpack that compartmentalizes his 15” laptop and books and has an emergency USB charger. He didn’t bring his bike so can’t comment on that.
