I moved here to NYC to look for new life opportunity and got lucky with work. Found good firm to work with very quickly. There are some other worries I have had and one of them is the COLD!!Today is the coldest day of this winter season and my friend told me since yesterday to prepare. So today I wore 5 layers of tops, gloves, hat and scarf and still felt soooo cold on my face. There was sunshine but have snow in New Jersey where I travel to work by train. No snow in NYC. My boss throw a XMas lunch for all staffs at a good pub/restaurant today and we had half day off to celebrate together. And after that I had to walk to train station to come back to NYC..The coldest walk ever....yeah really....

Very cold like walking in a big fridge...grrrrrrrr..But the good news is that I STILL SURVIVE!!!! So the temperature today is -6 Celcius....... !!! 

Layers...just wear many many layers. Get a scarf to cover your neck and face.

I know it sucks...but hey, you're still alive.

Yeah..And every other days will be better as this is already the coldest........

u ride the bike?

Oh hey, the bike does not work out I will return you whenever you want...:-) ride only once to work but it was uphills and the road is too dangerous for bike and its windy etc...where are you?

It's been -10C here (Woodinville, Washington) without the will chill every night for the last week and only warms up to about -6c during the day. Today it warmed up to -2c with sunshine and it felt like a heat wave. You will get used to it.

Hi.. I saw the new the other days, Kiruna (the city up north in Sweden will be -30 degree, next week..)

Yes.. -30 (I didnt type it wrong

I remember after visitng Thailand last X''Mas .. The weather was nice..

Then we came back to Sweden and we live in the forest..

The temp outside was -25 degree..

So.. not much usual outdoor activities in winter..lol ..

more like "Indoor" activities .. lol ..i

Coolpapa: So Washington is colder then...I didn't realize that..stay warm......

SoBeIt: I don't think I can live in that weather...but maybe have to try and see...I admire that you can make it there in that so freezing cold weather..........It sounds impossible for me.........grrrrrrrr

lol It need a little time to adjust actually

I remeber my first winter here.. When I was out.

Dont remember how cold it was..

I couldnt really smile to anyonre.. (not because im an ass)

But everytime I smiled... My teeth got cold direct.. lol ..

So.. i had to walk like a grumpy girl all along the way..

(Maybe that is why.. Farangs like us coz we always smile..

The land of smile.. :)

OMG....so scary...............I can only go there in summer then...

6 Celcius !!?... it is summer for me ..i can waer surf shorts !

the rest of the year in NY makes up for the cold though! It's a great city and so much fun when it's not freezing! You'll just have to meet someone to stay warm with ;-) ;p

Yes -25 and -30 wasn't that uncommon where I grew up too. But I can't say I miss it...

oh it is going to get colder

but just bundle up ...you be fine

espically with some of that indoor activity mentioned above

Well, technically is not even winter season yet as it starts on Dec 21. If you are suffering now, get ready for January then. BTW, I'm traveling in North Carolina for 2 weeks and it's getting down to -3 C so I share your feeling. Problem with NYC when you walk in the cold is the windshield becuase of the strong winds within the tall buildings, that cold air is icy...

A nice pleasant 37C here in Perth today! Ummm maybe I should not have said that.

ha ha ha completly normal!! wait until you get winter!!! - 15 to -25 is normal in the parts of Scandinavia i live in ;-)

Buy some ear muffs, nothing worse than cold ears.

I visited NY one march not realising how cold it was still going to be there, sill loved the city though it has fantastic architecture and a great music scene, hopefully I will go back again soon.

Buy some ear muffs, nothing worse than cold ears. == yes I agree

go to WA. soon but I want to wait until it not too cold ....

good luck girl

Samy5000: 5 CC is summer? where are you from? Antarctica?....lol....

GM: It is fun here indeed. People are very social. But hard to find someone you really can connect with..Do you agree?

Yamahacrasher: -25 and -30 cc..Where are you from?.........grrrrrrr.......

Danno:OMG...really??? I only know this 10 days forecast every other days are warmer
