Retummocs (like superheros) need to make sure they are properly dressed for their adventures. Living in a region that actually experiences 4 seasons, it is important for your wardrobe to have range. Be wary that weather conditions can differ greatly between your origin and destination. This usually isn't so bad in the spring and fall, but a light jacket can make a world of difference.
When winter approaches its easy to notice the temperature difference between Manhattan and Tarrytown. The warm coat that prevents you from freezing in Tarrytwon, keeps you comfortable on the train, and is unbareable in a crowded shuttle or subway car. Snow is far worse. A few flurries downtown means mega inches all over Westchester. You'll regret not taking your computer home with you every day, when you look back at the first tracks you just made on the platform. My advice is to go for layers so there's some control over your insulation.
Little can be done during the summer when there is a dress code to consider. This means suffering, plain and simple. Some days aren't meant for pants, and "I will be working from home today because the hot weather is causing me to sweat profusely and I'm not a strong swimmer" isn't easy to sell. Polo shirts offer some relief (if allowed), but that's all I got.
Ok, not a lot of advice this time around. The best thing you can do is invest in a sturdy, compact umbrella, and always remember: no capes!
