And yes, even time is different on this side of America! They are certainly very crazy ... First, despite its position facing the sea, it is far from the ocean climate. It is cold in winter, very cold. It snows every winter for several weeks, and sometimes with real storm! That said it's nothing, look back a little inland (Upstate New York, as they say), the winter lasts six months. Well yes, Canada is not far! But it is the wind, always present, that penetrate through the clothes and gives the impression of being a pile on the ice. Although
-on, summer, all reversed (spring and fall, at least this year, lasted roughly 3 1 / 2 days). One can easily reach 100 degrees (Fahrenheit, but still). Moist heat, sticky. Heat is known to be downright unbearable in July and August. Therefore the AC (air conditioning) are almost all windows (except for my room), and thoroughly in all stores, offices, subways. A prime example of wasted energy boggles the mind: it has quail inside, which means that many New Yorkers ever prevail with them a sweater, even during the worst heat, to avoid temperature differences really tiring. Myself, the office, I always wore a sweater or jacket, as I pulled out conscientiously eat or at the end of the day.
Even the rain has its particular behavior. If the winter offered endless periods of rain, sometimes several weeks without stopping, the summer is specialized in large Drach. The atmosphere becomes increasingly cumbersome and moist until it cracks violently. Then we have the right to a real storm, big warm drops that you dip in less than 5 minutes. And always a strong wind, which rushes into the long aisles of buildings to surprise you at every intersection. Umbrellas, useless, break or fly off and the girls run in heels, or they can seek refuge under the mocking gaze of those who did not hesitate to wear boots quite nasty mimi. Because it is doing here without shame. short, for the average New Yorker who lives in his windowless office or in his room without a view, the only way to know how to dress is to check the weather online. And I am able to announce, for having often tested, the short-term weather forecasts are damn reliable. Weather France did not really need my services ...
Sailing Sailing, I said everything was what I thought. When you start talking about the weather, generally, is that we have much left to say. Luckily, I soon left NYC for new adventures. First Boston on a weekend, then a road trip in the Midwest and along the Mississippi. So by this sad post that ends the epic New York. Soon other news, another culture.
