Winter In New York City

Evolve Winter Competition

Around this time of year when the days become shorter, the nights longer, and the temperatures colder, the coats, mittens, scarves, and boots all make their return. Around this time of year, when outside activities become less demanding, a hustle and bustle indoors increases. Around this time of year, native New Yorkers are all about the business and hibernation until the summer fun is upon us once again.

NYC experiences all four seasons. For a part of my childhood, I assumed the world experienced all four seasons too and was in awe once I learned the truth. I needed wardrobes for each one and living in Brooklyn meant limited closet space. Every fall my mom, sisters, and I cleaned the house, switched out curtains, changed decor and prepared the winter clothes. This meant taking them out of the storage bins, washing them (even though we washed them before closing them up) and filling the contents with our summer wear. The bins went back into closets and under beds until the season changed again.

Some particularly like this time of year because the pressures of being outside and social are no longer trying to bust down your door. Snuggling under your blankets binge watching SVU, worst tattoos, freestyles, comedy skits, Tik Toks, DIYs, meal ideas, and every other distraction becomes acceptable until the temperature stays above 60 again. Around this time of year, snow is expected and with that comes all the snow activities. Ice skating, ice tubing, sledding, and skiing become the favored winter activities. The tree in Rockefeller Center is popular this time of year as well.

Around this time of year, you can see your breath outside so I embrace the indoors and hopefully have mustered enough nuts to get me through the winter. Winter is the time when you’re allowed to be isolated for days because who wants to go out in the cold anyway? Wintertime we cannot take the children to the playground so painting, baking, coloring, and crafting becomes more popular. Despite the frigid temperatures and snow storms, winter makes the inside of my home all warm and full of love.

The use of the oven increases so the smell of cinnamon, baking cookies, chocolate, and nutmeg become the norm for the next 2–3 months. My family is filled with pie bakers and as a…
