<p>Do you know it's already snowing in New York?</p>
<p>Is life going to be harder when it's SOOOO COLD?</p>
<p>I love snow, but now I feel afraid. It's so different compared to California.</p>
<p>I know it's a stupid question. But......What do you think?</p>
<p>It’s definitely not snowing in NY (and hasn’t yet this season). And it’s really not that cold, a good pair of boots and a long coat and you’ll be fine</p>
<p>@eatpeasplease I live ~40 minutes outside of NYC so I can tell you that it’s not that bad. While last night was technically our first snow, it was just a couple of flakes mixed in with rain. By the morning, there wasn’t even snow on the ground. Temperatures generally remain low 20’s to low 30’s during the winter, but occasionally drop to the teens and very rarely go to the single digits. As far as snow goes, it depends on the year. Last year was particularly bad with (and I’m not exaggerating here) about one storm every week or so during January/February (I had 6 days off of school, 2 delayed openings, and 1 early closure). During the average year, there are a few big storms with more than 5 or 6 inches of snow, but generally we don’t get more than a couple inches per storm. </p>
<p>My advice: if you go, bring a thick jacket, lots of sweaters, scarves, hats, boots, and other warm clothing. It definitely can get cold and miserable, but it’s not terrible if you’re prepared. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>I’m sometimes worried about that too - after California, ANY place would seem cold. But I guess we can’t always live in sunny Cali right? We have to eventually step out. Why not now?</p>
<p>just wear a ton of layers and make sure to have a down jacket</p>
<p>No, it’s not too cold…think of it as an adventure, and a chance to wear cute coats, boots, hats, and scarves…</p>
<p>I just heard there’s 1.8 ft snow in New York now…
That’s taller than me 
But I still love NYU andd NYC !
@Sdgal2 @food4lyfe @ImNYUobsessed @rfree18 @jazzcatastrophe </p>
<p>that’s only in upstate… New York is much larger than you think.
But where NYU located is is in the city. Barely any snow in the city unless its a huge storm.
And even I live in NY and the weather is really unpredictable. Differs by 10 to 15 degrees each day.
But when it’s cold, it’s really cold. Very humid too.</p>
<p>ehh its alright also the comparison between cali and nyc will vary based on where you lived in cali</p>
<p>Almost any place is cold after living in cali</p>
<p>On the other hand, the chance of an earthquake in NYC is minimal. </p>
<p>Wildfires are also few and far between.</p>
<p>New York is not in a 5 year drought. </p>
<p>etc</p>
<p>etc</p>
<p>Great
Now I’m just scared I can’t get in
@TomSrOfBoston </p>
<p>I live in the bay area now…
I just want to leave here
but I’ve always been in warm areas
So I’m kinda worried
But now I’m more afraid about not getting in NYU 
@Hapaz98 @bobcat97 </p>
<p>Considering that the metro area of NYC has 20 million people, and millions more live even further north, then no, it’s not too cold to live there. </p>
<p>@eatpeasplease if my SanDiego (warmer than SF) daughter survived last winter in Cleveland (much colder than NYC), you will survive also… Now good luck with the acceptance! </p>
<p>You’ll just going to have to be prepared. Bring warm outfits, jackets, gloves, boots, scarves, ect and you will be fine. Snow doesn’t really accumulate in the city as much as outside the city, but I’ve lived in the northeast for most of my whole life so it isn’t that bad. If you want really cold, go up to Minnesota, I was half considering going to college there for a while, but then decided it wasn’t me. Personally, I’ve always loved the warmer weather, it gets me up and motivated, so I moved down south for college.</p>
<p>Yea I agree with the others. I think you’ll be fine ^^</p>
<p>Good thing about NYC is that you don’t have to drive in that mess when it snows. If you have good outerware, boots, and gloves, you’re good to go. Subways and buses run in any weather (except the very rare hurricane directly hitting the city). </p>
Thanks. Weather is now out of my concerns cause now I have to worry about my truancy record
@Hapaz98 @NoVADad99
Make sure you bring rain boots!! Those will be the best in cold snow and rain. I have huters and I wear them in the city all the time. Also invest in a pair of good sneakers. I have a pair of Nike air max thetas, and two pairs of the free runs and theyre the greatest for walking. Don’t just bring flat shoes, I made that mistake one weekend and my feet hurt terribly!
