Really this paragraph could be about just about anything because in New York one can experience and see just about anything. Whether it's the Naked Cowboy on Times Square, the rude cabbie drivers or the homeless man spitting on the sidewalk, there will be something every day that will surprise you, even shock you.
For today, I will make this entry about the weather. Be prepared to be chilly! The long range forecast for December puts the temperatures between 35-45 degrees Fahrenheit. Thats around 1-7 degrees C, maximum. Remember 32F is freezing point. It will feel different to the chill you are used to in SA, the wind chill in particular can be brutal, especially in the city. Whatever the weather you will be commuting in and out of the city and exploring the sights so a good jacket, layers, gloves and scarves are a must.
Indoors is beautifully warm everywhere so layers are key, easy to shed and add to as needed. We can shop for some items here of course, don't spend a fortune on these things in SA, speak to me first, they are probably best acquired here.
It may or may not snow, chances are that it will but be prepared for the cold without the snow. A white Christmas is something that cannot be counted on...we were fortunate last year, here's hoping it will snow this year but again, don't be disappointed if it doesn't. There will be a warm fire and hot chocolate regardless!
