What's the lowdown in New York City now? (Florida: insurance, bankruptcy)

[NewYorkFan]

I'm making preparations to move to Manhattan, but I hear the winter chill is hitting the place hard, and the Wall Street meltdown isn't helping things either.

So what's the weather like over there, and what's the general economic situation?

had some chilly weather past few days but these next couple days are back to the low 60s as highs, then back to 50s

it normally is supposed to get real cold in NYC and stop in march only to get real hawt

if you are in the business of bankruptcy consulting you ought to be fine

I was in NYC last Christmas/New Year, and it was cold, cold, cold. The business seemed good, though.

Most professionals work in recession proof businesses. Accountants, insurance agents, doctors - they'll always be needed, even in bad times.

New York City hasn't had a good old-fashioned New York winter in well over a decade. But our friendly local media has a very short memory span. If the temperature drops into the twenties, they're running at the mouth about dangerous, frigid conditions. I didn't think I was that old, but I recall winters when two or three weeks of single-digit temperatures at a stretch was commonplace...and a foot or so of snow wasn't unusual. What we have now might be considered winter in south Florida, but it's hardly dangerous or frigid.
