My wife and daughter are going to New York city Wednesday thru Sunday. Temp will be mid 40's. She's wondering about how heavy a coat she will need. Will it be a warm 45 or cold with a drafty wind like Iowa? Thanks.....
 
Mark, It always seems colder in New York this time of year. Bring a warm coat and she can take it off if it gets to warm. It's supposed to be in the mid 40s sat. and sun. Chuck
 
"New York City!"
Why would anybody want to leave Iowa and go to NYC?
The people in NYC don't want to be there, if they could be some place other.
 
Take good walking shoes. I was there for a week in June. I had forgotten how many miles you walk going from place to place, up and down stairs for subways. Sometimes a cab is hard to catch. Don't see a lot of fat people in NYC. If it is windy the wind whistles thru the concrete canyons..between the buildings.

I love Iowa in pheasant season, ......but I love NYC too.
 
I grew up 7 miles from the George Washington Bridge in what used to be a truck-farming area of northern New Jersey. Hard to believe now. I used to drive a taxi in Manhattan. Haven't been back since 1976 and hope I never have to. I find it hard to imagine anyone going there on purpose. But hey, to "each his own."
 
Haven't been there in 7 years since a couple surgeries. Never missed for 30 years. Usually hunted the SW corner, Des Moines south and west, usually stayed in Des moines or Winterset. Had lots of very good friends there. Too many gone to the happy hunting ground.
 
I don't know about that, Harv. New Yorkers (and east coasters in general) can't understand why anyone would live anywhere else. "IT'S ALL HERE"
Remember, we're in fly-over country.
 
My daughter belongs to a group called CommonGround(www.FindOurCommonGround.com). A national movement of farm women who share information about farming and the food they grow. Thursday morning she will be in a news studio connected to 17 other TV stations across the nation answering questions about where your food comes from and many aspects of farming. My daughter and son-in-law raise turkeys in Stanhope Iowa. You can visit www.iowacorn.org, at the bottom of the page, click on Katie Olthoffs picture for a video of their turkey operation.
 
I would think a warm winter coat would be wise to have on, given the cold air predicted to move in, and that the wind picks up between the buildings.

It's usually warmer as the ocean has not cooled yet, so it could be mild, but with the cold air coming, potential wind, that may change things, play it safe.
 
I was born and raised there and I could not wait to get the heck out. Left in 1976 and never looked back. I know many others who grew up there and did exactly the same. Most of the people I know with there "noses up in the air" in the NYC area - are transplants and NOT born there.
 
Take plenty of $$$$ you'll be unpleasantly surprised at how expensive everything is going to be.Everyone should visit NY,Philly or DC once just to appreciate a decent place.
 
NYC can be real cold because those buidings funnel rather than block the wind...most of the natives are cold also...I would consider 4 days in New York a real hardship tour. I spent a year working in NYC...it was absolutely horrible.

I agree. The residents of NYC and it's bedroom communities think it's the entire world. This creates problems for the rest of us NYer's who want nothing to do with anything within 100 miles of NYC, 300 miles in my case!

NYC reminded me of Korea, that damp, wet windy cold. Not fun.
