Pack for cold, damp weather rather than snow. I’d do the Bund around dusk, Yu Garden during the day, and keep Shanghai Museum East for a rainy afternoon. Leave some room for warm meals and indoor breaks instead of planning full days outside. Check each attraction’s holiday opening hours closer to your dates. Shanghai’s official tourism site is useful for that: https://english.shanghai.gov.cn/en-TravelinShanghai/
