IMO - summer and winter are the worst time in NYC area because it's simply too hot and humid..... and winter here is so brutal that it really bites your skin and wears you down. it's also when our weather is very unpredictable and extreme. could be beautiful day today... and then hurricane-like weather next day or heavy rain for a few days with floods/flash floods.
PFH was constantly bragging to me that people in Colorado wears shorts and flip flops in 30's like it's nothing and.... he didn't realize how really cold it is in East Coast area.
and Californians didn't realize how incredibly humid and awful our summer is in here.
just wait till you get to NYC subway system or any tunnel during summer especially during rush hour.
I'm here in Denver now and I'm wearing tank top + shorts in this 40's and I know what 40's is like in NYC
I agree with katz. Fall is definitely the most perfect time to come in Northeastern area. the most perfect temperature.... weather... scenario.... festivals.... etc. everything's exactly just right but the time frame is very very short.. 2 months.... or 3 at best... I'm proud to be born in fall season
but I'm sure JClarke will suck it up and he will enjoy it if he wanna come during summer or winter
