Governor Andrew Cuomo today urged New Yorkers to take precautions against dangerously cold weather that will be affecting the entire state until January 2. Southern and western areas in the North Country will be experiencing dangerously cold wind chills through at least Thursday night where wind chill temperatures could reach -15 to -25 below zero with some areas of the southern Adirondacks reaching as low as -40 below zero.
Temperatures in Long Island and New York City are forecast to be 15 to 20 degrees below normal with high temperatures remaining below the upper teens to mid-20s and overnight lows reaching the single digits through Friday, and from Sunday through Tuesday. Winter Weather Advisories are also posted the Finger Lakes Region with Lake Effect Snow Warnings in place for the typical lake effect band areas of Western New York and the North Country.
"Bitterly cold winter temperatures have settled in across the state and New Yorkers need to make sure they are prepared for this dangerously cold weather," said Governor Cuomo. "I encourage New Yorkers to stay informed and safe during this inclement weather - we will continue to monitor conditions and stand ready to assist any communities in need."
