The weather in late February/March is typically cold. We’ve had an unusually warm winter this year, but I would expect it to be near freezing for the most part. There might also be some days that are warmer, but it’s hard to say. I’d assume you’ll need a winter jacket and warm pants for the most part, but there could be a day that’s literally warm enough for shorts and a t-shirt—that’s just how weather is around here.

I’m terms of walking, it’s generally pretty safe. I wouldn’t necessarily plan to go on long neighborhood strolls at 2 am, but I wouldn’t feel unsafe walking home at 10 pm.

New Haven is a city, so there is always the possibility that some bad actor will give you trouble, but it’s usually pretty safe and quiet.
