New York City Weather: Below Freezing All Week After Snowstorm

Lingering Cold and Messy Conditions

• ❄️ A significant snowstorm has passed, leaving behind a messy landscape with substantial snow accumulation.
• 🥶 Temperatures are currently in the lower to mid-20s, with wind chills feeling as low as 10 degrees below zero.
• ⚠️ The forecast indicates temperatures will remain 10 to 20 degrees below average for the rest of the week.

Sub-Freezing Temperatures Expected All Week

• 🌡️ High temperatures are not expected to reach the freezing mark (32-33°F) until potentially February 3rd or 4th.
• 🧊 Sub-zero wind chills are predicted for multiple mornings this week, making exposed skin vulnerable.
• 🚫 Four consecutive First Alert weather days are declared due to the extreme cold, not storms.

Road Conditions and Refreeze Potential

• 🚗 Frozen roads are a significant concern due to the refreezing of slush from earlier in the day.
• 🧊 The combination of cold temperatures and remaining moisture means surfaces will likely refreeze overnight.
• ☀️ Radiational warming from the sun today created slushier conditions on sunny sides of streets compared to shaded areas, all of which will refreeze.

Next System and Weekend Outlook

• 📡 Current radar shows only minor snow flurry activity in some areas, with the main storm system now off the coast of Maine.
• 🤔 There is a potential for another system to move into the area by Sunday, but this is not yet certain.
• 📈 The 7-day forecast shows highs in the low 20s, with morning lows dropping into the single digits by Wednesday.
