Wat je mee moet nemen

Shoreline weather

It's warmer here than the rest of New England (in the winter) and cooler than the rest of New England (in the summer). As with most of the northeast, the weather can change on a whim. Bring a jacket or sweater for cooler summer evenings. Dress for a damp cold in the winter or just curl up by the fire. An umbrella in your vehicle is wise.
