Weather - Clothes

The weather in Europe in March can range from sunny and warm "hoodie" weather to snowy and bitterly cold "sweater, waterproof jacket, gloves, toque, scarf" weather.  You're enjoyment of the trip will be dependent on bringing the right clothes and wearing them on the right days.  For example, if you were walking back from the Hofbrauhaus in Munich tonight in a t-shirt & hoodie, you would not be enjoying yourself, as it is -10 C with snow flurries possible.  You would probably be fine in that hoodie strolling around Florence today though, as it is +12 C and sunny.  We will monitor the weather as we get closer to the trip, but you all need to come prepared for variable conditions.

I've put the short term weather forecast for Paris in the sidebar, since Paris is the first big city we will be visiting on the trip.
