[@redapple2593]

As an Aussie, I also found EARMUFFS were a must, as my ears ached from the freezing temperatures. Also boots that had a NON SLIP TREAD to deal with the snow on New York footpaths.❄️🌫️☃️🌬️

[@SarahFunky]

@@redapple2593 Great point!

[@KRQ789]

I cannot find the link to the coat, I’m not sure why it’s so hard for me lol

[@dang3rdays]

You also need to consider when you're in New York that you're probably going to go in and out of a lot of warm overcrowded stores. I recommend layers that you can easily take off while in stores so you're not dying when trying to shop.

[@SarahFunky]

Exactly!

[@barbarafagundes1492]

Great point! I’d say a coat that does the job so it allows you to wear just a thin sweater underneath.

[@DJplaymySong]

Born and raised in NY and I still don't know how to dress in winter. The bipolar weather here can b confusing lol

[@p.ginger4500]

My husband and I went to NY in December and your videos helped a lot with the planning, thank you! We met a lady from Florida who didn't own a coat. She was walking around with a giant scarf. Coming from a cold place myself, it was just unimaginable to me how you can't own a coat! Anyway, she used the next day to get one. Nice souvenir from NY :-D

[@SarahFunky]

Omg I can't imagine walking around the city with only a scarf in winter! Happy my videos helped you guys 😃

[@SilviaLopez-eg9wh]

My first time in NY was mid October and although it was not freezing yet, it was much colder than back at home (I lived in south Texas-like weather), so I had to buy a coat cause I hadn't pack one. It was a nice souvenir indeed, and it lasted like 10 years. The worst thing here is that it was a school trip, and the teachers organizing had no idea what the weather would be like (mind you, this was long before videos like this were popular).

[@Essielove33]

Great video, Sarah. I live in Rockland County and visit the city often. Excellent advise for anyone coming to NY during the winter months.

[@jenniferdsouza-dowhatyoulike]

Hey Sarah, thank you so much for the information. Wish I had seen this video before I moved to NY. I’m from the tropical part of the world and it would get really hard in winter cuz no matter what I would wear I’d be cold. It took time to learn all this. I can say for sure if anyone coming to NY for the first time this video is all you need to know and you will be able to enjoy your stay. Thanks again Sarah, Merry Christmas!!

[@rachelglova6008]

I am going to NYC for the first time with my partner around new year, he is from a much warmer climate so this video is very helpful!

[@JohnnyHS]

OMG, this is so totally helpful. I was in NYC through November '19, and just at the end of the first week, it dropped to 35 then stayed under 32 for days on end. I was dying. I was not ready for it. Expected it to be 40-50f and I was just plain miserable. Thank you so much.

[@SarahFunky]

Omg that is the worst!

[@klhoward4845]

Will be travelling to NYC with family this Xmas for the first time and this video was exactly what we needed as we are from a much warmer climate. Grew up with a Melbourne (VIC, Australia) Winter but it does not get this cold (from memory). Have been to London, UK during winter and I assume a NYC winter is quite alike…

[@sincerelyadwoa]

I feel attacked! Im coming to NYC tomorrow and i'm so unprepared! lol

[@SarahFunky]

Don't worry, right now it is unseasonably warm!

[@khaosCaffe]

Eh, I live here and I freeze my but off. Just wear three layers. A shirt, sweater, and a thick winter coat. Wear thick comfy pants and thick socks and comfortable shoes. The shoes are important.

[@missme4752]

Same as Milano!

[@rjohnson2417]

I cannot agree with you more. I work for the FDNY EMS and layering is key in the city. The best part is that if you get to hot just remove a layer. I personally when working wear up to 4 layers. All thin of course. Anyway layering is key.

[@SarahFunky]

Yes so true! Thanks for your service 😀

I love turtle necks. Or semi turtle neck

[@farewelljupiter]

Don’t worry we don’t even get snow anymore and it’s always forty. I remember being a kid and we’d be -10 degrees and snow feet deep it looked so good and it was awesome. Now we get like sleet and 32 degrees and then the next day it’s 50 and everything melts. We haven’t had a storm since 2014. We haven’t seen a foot of since around then too.

[@janemarie150]

I think the other thing that happens at NYC in the winter - not a lot of sun. Its either cloudy or sun is low in the sky and buildings create longer shadows. 40F in NYC feels so much colder than 40F back at home. But my home has sunny winters (in between storms) and I think that makes a difference.

[@superequus_fancams]

Hey sarah! Any tips to stay warm in the winter if I would like to wear a dress or skirt? Thank you!

[@bookswithbek1370]

Hey Sarah! Love your videos! Been watching for like a year in the lead up to mine and my wife’s one year anniversary trip to New York! We leave in a few days and coming from sweltering hot North Queensland Aus we are definitely freaking out for the cold weather (it’s been 45 Celsius here for months 🥵) I have bought thermals, warm, waterproof down coats, socks etc as mentioned in video but I was just wondering if you think it is completely useless to bring the thinner fashion coat you talked about? We are professional musicians and will be seeing a lot of shows for winter jazz, other concerts, broadways shows etc as well as a few fine dining spots. I thought to wear the thinner, nicer coats for those events rather than the bulky down coat because it looks classier I guess? Is this common or should I not waste the suitcase space? Would love your opinion! 💜💜💜

[@SarahFunky]

Thanks for watching! Most of the venues you're speaking of would have a coat check so what type of coat you bring doesn't make a huge difference regarding where you go. However, my advice is to check the temperature before hand. If it is above 5°C at night then you'll be fine using the lighter jacket. I hope that helps!

[@bookswithbek1370]

Mid November 2004, I was on the open top of a tour bus in NYC at night. It was raining on and off, practically sleeting. I was the only one up there enjoying the solitude and views. Stayed up till near the end of the trip where it started to rain quite heavily and I realised being sat there, my finger tips and toes were starting to get cold. Even with the thick socks and gloves on. So I came down to the lower deck where it was warm. So I waited till the bus was stuck in traffic on 5th Ave going south with Central Park on my right. Got to the bottom of the stairs and the whole bus began to clap and applaud. This was quite confusing to me so I glanced at the driver who said that he had been joking with the other passengers about how long I would brave being up there and no one expected me to last as long as I had. Minor celebrity for 15 seconds moment on a bus!

Awesome video, but that outfit is missing one vital part for really cold weather: You need a warm scarf... The turtleneck ain't enough, it would let the cold it. You might also want to wrap the scarf around your mouth and nose to protect your (beautiful ;-) ) face from the bitter cold and warm up the air you breathe. Take care!
