As far as boots... Rain boots come in very handy. Snow boots? No, not needed. Women's fashion boots? Yes, they are commonly worn in fall and winter.
Bring a pair of gloves, but you'll probably only use them a couple of times if you're outdoors for an extended period. The one time I really needed them last year, it slipped my mind to bring them with me, and I left them home. I brought several pairs here, and they've been sitting in the coat closet since we moved.
All of us females in the family wear scarves here on occasion, but as IsNull said, it's more for the look than for the warmth.

Perfect! I love little fall jackets with various light layers, but, when it comes down to having to dress for -20 I hate it. I lived in the White Mountains of NH for 17 years and became used to that so I guess I can get used to anything.

So you're good to go! Those little fall jackets with layers are what you'll want for the majority of the "cold" months. Enjoy!
(Oh, and BTW, if you have kids who aren't teeny tiny, don't bother packing any winter coats for them. No matter how cold, they will not wear them. Ever. )
Totally sounds doable. I was looking at winter scarves today and realized I shouldn't be buying anymore if I am moving to South Carolina. Is there a need for scarves, gloves and boots during the winter?
I wear boot but not snow boots. I do have a light pair of gloves for sports...ya know when the temp drops to the 50s.... Winter mornings can get chilly so if you like to walk...a coat, hat, gloves wouldn't be a bad idea. Things typically stay above 40 at night in the winter and that feels cold to us now. If the temp drops below 30 they've been known to start schools late or cancel. If there is any ice or snow then the area shuts down because we just aren't equipped to deal with colder temps...it isn't because we are wimps. Being from Maine I'm used to bad weather travel but I would never drive down here when there is a possibility of freezing. Just think...you'll see grass all year long! You can grill all year long! No need for an ice scraper or shovel! Vehicles stay so much cleaner because they don't treat the roads with sand or ice. Excited yet???

Not kids......but tiny well dressed dog so I'm packing for her.
Yeah, in summer we walk our doggies early and evening, when relatively cooler. Otherwise they come back panting like crazy and looking they're going to drop dead.
One thing to keep in mind, once you are here, is that the pavement gets extremely hot. She could burn her little feet if you walk her mid-day.
Good point!!! She has shoes, but, rarely wears them because they aren't easy to put them on. I was in Virginia beach one summer and my husband and I noticed that. Thanks for the reminder.....note to self dog shoe shopping

If you're female, of course! There's always room to accessorize.
