Yards are different from a balcony or terrace, and no, I wouldn't imagine those to be used throughout the year in the northeast either.

So the only time outside space like that would really be off limits is during an extreme cold snap (like well below 20F) or after a major snow/ice storm.

Or hot and humid days?
Or when it's raining? I assume it rains far more in NYC than it does in SoCal.
Speaking of SoCal, it's funny because here, it seems like the apartments with balconies, I often DON'T see people using them, apart from storing their bikes on them or leaving a wet mop out to dry.
