In winter, the streets in the city of New York are covered with snow. The air is clear and cold. But the streets won't keep this way for very long. In New York the temperature always changes within a few hours. Usually the temperature is from about 25°F to 40°F in winter, but sometimes it is below zero. It is difficult to dress properly for this kind of weather. If you dress in heavy clothes in the morning, the weather may be very hot later. If you dress in light clothes because the morning is warm, the weather may be quite cold in the afternoon. So New Yorkers often say to visitors: “If you don't like our weather, wait a minute, it will change.”
The snow will melt and then the streets will be covered with mud and water. Before cleaners can clean the streets, the water has all changed to ice. Then you can't drive or walk. Cars are sliding all over the streets and so are people. (167
