When I first moved to Chicago, I was not nearly prepared enough for the long, intense winters that the city is known for. Over the years, I’ve accumulated a few cold-weather essentials that get the job done, from puffer jackets to mittens and everything in between. The freezing temperatures will not stop me from getting some fresh air and sunshine, whether in the form of a long morning walk with the girls or an afternoon trip to the playground. So if you also endure harsh winters where you live, I hope my holy grail winter-weather essentials can help you get through the winter and maybe even enjoy it a little too.
