when I was there, they had a heavy snow. Bring a top and bottom thermal layer, a down jacket if you have it (or fleeces and wools if you dont) and the afformentioned hat and gloves. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 10:12 PM, Andy Isaacson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adi@hexapodia.org">adi@hexapodia.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Bring a warm coat, a warm hat (or at least headband/earmuffs), a warm<br>
scarf, and warm gloves that will do well in snow. I tend to wear long<br>
underwear under my pants, and a wool sweater under my heavy winter coat,<br>
when it's cold.<br>
<br>
Unless you're sure the place you're staying is very well sealed, bring<br>
warm socks or slippers for wearing around the house. Many of the<br>
apartments for rent in Berlin are older construction and can be drafty.<br>
<br>
It can get fairly cold in Berlin in December, down to freezing or maybe<br>
15 F if we're really lucky.<br>
<br>
Looking at the forecast, it's going to be rainy and warmer (oh joy).<br>
Highs of 40F lows of 29F. I'd prefer snow.<br>
<br>
Bring good winter boots! Don't have to be uber insulated but something<br>
more than thin leather (or plastic) is a good idea. At least<br>
water-resistant to ward off snow. Sneakers are not your friends.<br>
<br>
Be able to take off layers and open your coat -- the U-Bahn and the BCC<br>
and stores will tend to be very well heated.<br>
