If you never lived where it snows and were moving North to where it does snow, what would you have liked to have known? What would you do to prepare?

Have good boots for winter, because ice or packed snow is slippery and often unavoidable. And when you're picking the boots, make sure they have enough space for thick socks.

If you are walking down a very snowy hill or something, I've found out that stepping with your heel first, so that your foot creates a stair-like step helps. Useful if it happens to be a path you use often.

Think about warm clothing and plan ahead. Especially in fall or spring, having extra warm clothing with you is super useful even if you don't need it at the moment, because you can never know when it gets suddenly colder.

Dress in layers. For example, the upper body could have the following layers:

shirt you wear indoors
thicker shirt/sweater
possibly another sweater
jacket/coat

You forgot one of the most important and best layers thermals both upper and lower part. It dose SO much.
