Winter Packing Essentials List | travel

Being born and raised in the South, I am not a well-versed winter weather person, especially when it comes to packing for travel. In recent years, I’ve been getting better with picking up winter wear that is good for cold weather, but I’m definitely relying on David for help with packing for our upcoming trip to New York City. His Buffalo roots have come in handy in terms of knowing how to layer! On my first trip to Buffalo in the winter, I packed the warmest coat I had, which was a pea coat. I’ve made substantial improvements since then. Here is our winter packing essentials list with what we’ll be taking with us on our trip to New York City! You can see our autumn packing list for NYC here.
