You may want to consider a gentle reintroduction to "weather", especially East Coast winters. Snow is fun when you're on a ski vacation. Decidedly less so when it's wet and getting whipped into your face by the wind as you trudge to work.
Nah I grew up in south central europe, I’m good with weather. Seeing -15C (5F) and 38C (100F) in the same year is pretty normal to me. Honestly I moved to SF to escape the summer heat and now I miss my winters and falls and springs and it’s been crazy hot here lately.
The winters in NYC really aren't that bad. Yes occasionally it snows but the storms that dump inches of snow are infrequent enough to be novel. When it's cold it's cold but if you're wearing the right jacket that isn't bad either.
I still have nightmares about those hidden pools of half frozen brown sludge that accumulate at street corners that turn your shoes pitch black if you accidentally step in one!
Yea but the part of the year when it's not cold it stays not cold all night so you don't have to think about the jacket you're going to need to change into every day all year.
