NYC faces dangerous cold as subzero wind chills move in
"Forecasters say we're about to enter one of the coldest periods of the season, with wind chills dropping as low as -20 degrees in the mornings and daytime temperatures struggling to climb out of the teens. The National Weather Service has issued Cold Weather Advisories for parts of the Tri-State area, warning that frostbite and hypothermia can set in quickly with prolonged exposure."
""We're talking about an extended period through the rest of this week, not only below the freezing mark but probably struggling to get out of the lower 20s most afternoons." Central Park officially recorded 11.4 inches of snow, the city's biggest snowfall since 2022, and thanks to the incoming Arctic air, that snow isn't going anywhere. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing until at least February 3, meaning melting will be minimal and refreezing will be a nightly problem."
