New York has no extreme weather. We have blizzards, and rarely, Nor'Easters. In either case the only people who every die in them are old people and idiots and the most inconvinience you'll ever suffer is having to shovel out your driveway and/or an excuse to stay home from work.
The wikipedia article on NYS has climate tables for the state; half of the year is below 60 degrees. Apparently here in Albany January is coldest with Average temperatures of 13-34 Farenheit, but that doesn't account for the wind chill here upstate whenever high pressure moves in, which is fucking murder. Like your head is being crushed in a vice grip the moment you step out your door. It alternates from week to week from being painfully cold and dry to overcast, miserable, and damp. It's beautiful when it snows but winter here is ugly, frigid or lukewarm and muddy otherwise. The worst is in January or February. Spring starts out muddy and cool and lapses in to summer pretty quickly, summers hang around 75 or 80 but occasionally get humid. Fall is great; it's cool, dry, cloudy and windy for weeks on end. 40 to 50 degrees is not uncomfortable in any sense.
Basically it's about three months a year everyone is miserable about the weather. Other than that it's pretty mild here, and we have no real lethal or destructive weather.
