Winter across New York
The state is huge, so the north sees deep snow while the city stays damp and gray. The first real chill typically arrives mid to late October, and hoodie weather usually runs late October through March. Snow is a regular part of the winter picture, so the cold season is long and planned for.
What to wear in New York, layer by layer
Here is the layering plan for New York. A sweatshirt or hoodie is the everyday middle layer from late fall through early spring. Wear it over a tee, then add a coat on the coldest days. Check the size guide if you plan to layer.
