<p>Hey!</p>
<p>What you really want is layers. A big puffy jacket on top of a t-shirt won’t really keep you warm. Better is something like a long sleeve shirt, a sweater, a scarf, and then a snow jacket. On the East coast it starts to get chilly in mid-october, and usually starts to snow sometime in November. September will be warmer ( just a little cooler than summer) so you can bring some of your warm-weather clothes for then. But it gets chilly fast. Really good things to have are scarves, sweaters (wool is MUCH warmer than cotton), basic or patterned long sleeve shirts for layering, maybe a down vest, a big, warm down jacket, and some pants (jeans are perfect, cords are good too). In the winter months, you may need to wear them all at once! Oh and some boots and tennis shoes (sandals will definitely not fly after october!) And don’t forget a pair of gloves!</p>
<p>Good luck at Bowdoin!</p>
