New York City In Winter???
-
My daughter is going to New York City for the Christmas / New Year period.
We live in Australia, & not experienced the cold that can happen in NYC at that time of year. It barely reaches zero degrees where we live year on year.
My daughter's wondering what she should take clothes wise?
Should be dressed top to toe in gear you'd wear to the Antarctic, or do people just normally go from building to building and can get by with just good jackets and boots??
Thanks for any help.

Just depends. NYC is a lot of walking though. And temps are usually around 0-5. A heavier coat would be recommended

NYC isnt just cold in winter, it is windy. It could be way under zero. Or it could be way above. The variance is huge.

Funny enough I'm off (taking the wife as well
) to Iceland and New York begining of Dec.We've been thinking this as well, what to except/plan for weather wise.
-
NYC in winter is going to be mostly sweaters, jeans, fashionable boots, and a coat to put on over it.

thanks everyone.

Base layer is a very important piece.

Keep in mind when we reference "0" in NYC, it is -17.7778 for you (F => C).

And NYC can go way below that. But not normally around Christmas time.

Some of us work in Celsius though and understood that when he said 0 he was speaking C.

Thanks everyone for the info, I'll pass it on.

Watch the original home alone movie or jingle all the way to see how people dress in NY for winter

Thanks @JaredBusch that's actually a big help, I've not put much brain power towards it, but for whatever reason I just thought NYC was like Greenland every day during winter, cold and snowy, but I guess it isn't.
We'll wind back the cold clothes packing from Defcon 4 to something not as severe.

Always possible to be a blizzard, but odds are against it.

Usually windy as @scottalanmiller said. Few times I've been in the area around the holidays temperatures were around 5 C but winds were 30-40 MPH which is what about 55-65km/h

The lack of oder in the winter makes nearly any cold temp tolerable in NYC.

Especially in lower Manhattan. The Wall St. area is crazy windy.

The bad winter months are really Jan and Feb.. and into March.
