Dress warmly but be careful not to over do it
As most travelers know the secret to surviving off season travel is to pack with the expectation the weather can do anything. Historic temperature averages for a place are just that, averages. During our December visit to Germany, temperatures were a little below average but still tolerable, in our long underwear, light winter coat and occasional sweater. We did not arrive with sub-minus degree coats. Instead we wore winter coats appropriate for the average temperatures we expected. We also packed sweaters, insulated underwear and thick flannel shirts. Layering clothing as the weather requires is the best way to avoid being too warm too cold. Worst case scenario, if you fail to pack what you need to keep warm you can always buy it in Germany. |
