NBR: Any Jersey/New York moms?

[billyhorrible]

My grandmother has lung cancer which has metastasized everywhere, including her brain, and since I won't be flying come May we're trying to sneak out for a quick visit next month.  I was really hoping to avoid going to New Jersey in the winter, because although we've got plenty of rain, it doesn't snow where I am, so we don't have great snow gear for the little guy.

I'm not too concerned about DH and I, but is there anything I need to pick up for my 3 year old son?

Caveats:
1) He has a snow/winter jacket.  (2 actually, I have to make sure the more heavy duty one still fits)
2) We'll only be there for 2 full days and will pretty much either be at the hotel or my grandmother's house.

So I am in Maryland not in Jersey, but I would recommend Maybe gloves or mittens. The wind has been pretty cold all over the east coast.. We haven't hit about 35 all week (in MD) so I can only imagine it is about the same if not colder in New Jersey/ New York. I'm so sorry about your grandmother. I hope she isn't in pain and you guys can bring her some love and joy in her final months.

I am sorry about your grandmother and I hope you get to see her soon. I live in VA but am originally from northern NJ. My family still lives there and I go visit them every few months. I was there for Christmas and it was cold but my kids were find with just their coats and hats. The both hate wearing gloves so I don't even bother. I don't think there is a need to buy or bring any more gear especially if its only going to be a two day visit.
