The coldest I've ever been was January in a New York snowstorm. The wind howling down those avenues meant the wind chill was incredible. I remember they had some winter event in Central Park with a snowmaking machine which ironically they had to close due to the snow.

Jon and Adriana I remembered Winters in Brooklyn when I was growing up. Those got really cold especially in February. I remembered some really big blizzards in February when I was young. What I wear usually when it is cold is vest, Jacket, Neoprene gloves. My Rangers Hat , Jeans, Tube socks , And Boots.

Speaking as a Canadian frost giant, I can say that both of you nailed it. I would only add a few points. A good way to keep hands warm is to wear an inner glove and an outer mitt. The outer mitt acts as a wind block and traps heat. Also, if the outer mitt has a closure around the wrist, this can help to trap heat. Something else to look for in a coat or outer shell is a drawstring at the bottom to keep the cold air from rising up into your chest and also keeping heat in. Some longer coats also have a drawstring in the middle, just above your waist, to also restrict internal air movement and keep cold air from passing through your coat (and thus drawing out heat). Instead of a scarf, a smaller and lighter item is a balaclava. Usually, they have an opening that is large enough to expose your face if you want but they can also be worn so that they cover your face only leaving your eyes exposed. They have to be long enough to extend down to cover your throat but even so, they are a lot lighter than a scarf and can usually just be pulled off and stuffed into packet. At any rate, these are minor points and they are only suggestions. What you documented is good and would even work in Canada.

We're having a rare snow day "down south" but your clip jogged memories of a lifetime of suffering in NYC in extreme winter weather. Layering is indeed key and taking the bus / train is always a challenge since I've got a strict "no coats" policy while riding in a moving vehicle. I've "misplaced" so many scarves and gloves!

We flew into NYC in January of few years ago. My jacket was packed in my bag as we where coming from Summer. Our bags did not end up on the plane from Los Angeles to NYC and so we only had the clothes that we had on for almost 24 hours and it was very cold. From then on I always carry my jacket with me.

Every winter jacket I buy must have a hood. It is so easy to just pull it over your head whenever it gets really cold. This week with unbearably icy cold weather I start layering as if I'm going skiing. Thermal underwear, waterproof ski pants, sweaters and my North Face Down jacket with insulated hood keeps me toasty warm!

November in NYC is plenty cold enough for this Texan! But I followed Jon's advice and brought my heavy coat with me on the plane (wore it), despite coming from Houston, TX. I'm glad I had my sock cap to wear when taking the Staten Island ferry in late November. I also kept my KN95 on while walking the streets....it kept my face warm! I may brave a true NYC Winter someday....though sidebar I have been to St. Petersburg, Russia in March, with ice floes still in the Neva River....I had a heavy wool coat, layered with a sweater under that, and a flannel shirt & t-shirt under THAT and still the wind knifed through and chilled me....brr! And I know the misery of wearing sneakers in snowy conditions and getting them wet...made that mistake during my student years in Germany and got sick and laid up in Weimar, Germany with cold for about a week. Definitely wore my waterproof leather boots from that point foward.

We love winter in NYC and we can’t wait to be back hopefully next Christmas. Your video brought back some great memories of us leaving Melbiurne, Australia just after Christmas and the weather was 38 degrees Celsius (100F) and when we landed at Newark it was 4degrees Celsius (39F). I remembered one of your earlier videos when you said how important layers were and you were spot on! I wore jeans, boots, a jumper, scarf and a jacket the whole time and it was perfect! Keep up the great work!

Hi Jon and Adriana. A couple years ago, I went to a Pro Hockey Shop here in Montreal, and bought professional base layer clothing, (top and bottoms) to go under my outer layer. They were the best thing I have bought yet. I have a Pioneer Canada jacket that is light, but it is also very warm, and repels snow and rain well, it stays dry in major snow or rain fall. I also have MANY pairs of boots, but also, I have varied socks. For those heavy winter days, I have thick thermal socks I only wear when needed. For nominal days, I have wool socks, then down to my regular every day Adidas socks for everyday wear. Depending on the conditions outside I change up my foot wear. When I go visit friends here in town, I usually pack in my back pack, a heavy pair of indoor socks, my friend knitted for me, that I wear when I take off my outside shoes, because of snow, water and annoying grit from the sidewalks. With the Pro Base Layer, I can wear whatever I want out of my wardrobe, unless of course there is a blizzard outside, then I go whole hog on the gear. (incidentally, tonight we are expecting 25+ cm of snow to fall through Monday night).

The best item I bring to New York for chilly to cold weather are UNIQLO thin, with collar, packable down jackets. They are more like sweaters. I wear them under my coat. T They weigh nothing and take up very little space. If there is any chance of rain or snow, I do bring my waterproof booties. Very important because when it rains a lot, there is standing water some places that have to path to walk around. Keeping feet dry is very important to me. ----- And of course, decent gloves and hat goes without saying. The good news is that if you forget something, there are lots of stores to buy those items - if you have to.

I visited NYC February 29th -March 7th 2020, I am from the Cayman islands (next to Jamaica and under Cuba) and it's normally 80F. I showed up in jeans and a T-shirt with nikes and it was 19F with wind chill. That was the coldest temperature I was ever in and it was REAAALLLY COOLLD 🥶. My flight arrived at 1 Am so i wasnt able to check into my AirB&B so i ended up waiting at a McDonald next to Penn Station and found some l really good NYC Local friends in that very McDonald's. I found a little Shop and managed to get a hat, gloves and a jacket that I still have to this day. I loved every cold day in NYC on that vacation and I can't wait to go back!!!

I live on the coast in Wales so no stranger to wet/cold weather. Did a photography trip to Edinburgh around Christmas and it was roughly 4c to -3c while I was out. I wore good boots, decent walking socks, generic combat trousers, a moderately thick hoodie, gloves which I never needed, a Fjallraven wool hat and Helly Hansen marine jacket. Was toasty warm the whole time. I think the only time I noticed it was cool was when I stopped late evening when it was minus Celsius temps and sat down for 20 mins to give my feet a break.

Layers, layers and layers - you can always take them off, but if you don't have them it will ruin your day. But as already mentioned in this video, a good set of boots are almost mandatory unless you want to have soggy cold feet for the rest of the day. I spent quite a bit of time in Toronto before moving to NYC and all I can say is 'layers and boots'. This is coming from an expat New Zealander.

Winter in New York sounds like early Spring weather. In Saskatchewan, we can get -50 with windchill some days. Especially in December, January and February. Which sucks when you are waiting for a bus. Most of the time it's around -15 to -20, though. Pretty much have to bundle up with everything, leggings, jeans, parka, scarf, extra scarf for around the face, earmuffs, ski mitts, toque. I even throw in some of those toe warmers into my boots in temperatures like that because my toes feel numb after walking in the cold for twenty minutes or so.

One winter I went to the Chinese Lantern Festival at Snug Harbor it was 10 degrees Fahrenheit probably colder with the wind chill, I'm always cold however I wasn't this time, we were at the festival for hours, I wore a tank top, thermal underwear long johns, jeans, pull over sweater, sweater coat, fur (fake) jacket, thermal knee high socks, hat, gloves, scarf and somehow I could still move don't know how but I could

Layering is not the only way. I'd go for good boots, like the Sorel or UGGs (of the same model): gum cover to keep water away, and sheepskin for the rest. First time i came to NYC i had gore-tex boots and at the end of a very heavy rainy day they weren't waterproof any longer - that's how bad it is. Fir jackets I'd go for sheepskin (if extremely cold and windy) or ghoosedown.

I'm in Edmonton, Alberta. We just got out of a record breaking cold snap, last Monday. We had an extended period of time where it was in the -20s, in Celsius. It also got into the -30s, in Celsius, at night, for some of that time. We had broke a record last set in 1969. I have an Eddie Bauer down filled winter jacket, which is rated to -40 degrees Celsius, which is 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I got it at a Boxing week sale, for half the regular price, around 2 years ago. In Canada, we have Boxing Day, the day after Christmas. I also dress in layers. That helps. Also, I have Sorel winter boots, which are waterproof, and rated to -40 degrees Celsius, or -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Good soles are helpful for ice. Furthermore, I buy exothermic hand and feet warmers for my gloves, mittens and boots. Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers! ✌️

Jon I know about the cold since I live in Chicago. I sometimes where 4 layers of clothing where there’s the polar vortex. Uniqlo has the parka that I can put into my backpack when I travel.

I grew up in Chicago as well and totally agree. It can be COLD! We actually just filmed a video in Chicago around Christmas though and it was surprisingly warm (T-shirt weather) downtown. It was such an unexpected and pleasant surprise!

Your vid’s are super informative and really get to the questions I guess everyone asks lol. We’re comin up for the first time next week and for me being a southern boy from the ATL I’m exited. We live in key west now so it’s gonna be friggin cold as hell and we don’t have a lot ( any lol )of these wardrobe choices as the norm around here is shorts n flip flops. So my question is with the weather situation Christmas week looks to be cold n dry for the most part if there’s no snow or heavy rain will tennis shoes do for the 5 days we’re there? Thanks in advance mang also makin a food list from your other uploads 🤘😝🤘

I'm headed up for a quick couple of days for an appointment next month and was wondering what I would need to bring. I'm thinking my LL Bean boots will be the go-to footwear of choice. Gotta get me some of those glove/mittens that Adriana has, I *hate* gloves but my hands get so, so cold without them!

The winters are tough, but I would argue that the summers are even worse! Extremely hot and very humid especially for a non-strictly tropic area… i’ve lived in Chicago, Jersey, Indiana, the Bay Area and here, and this by far is the worst overall climate in my opinion. Doesn’t get as cold as Chicago, but Chicago also doesn’t get as unbearably miserable in the summer. I still love it here though, despite the complaining, fall in New York is the best
