Deep freeze follows snow in New York area
Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Some of the coldest temperatures in several years are expected overnight and wind chills could make it feel sub-zero at times.
People are urged to dress warmly to avoid hypothermia and cover all exposed skin if they must venture outside at all.
Warming centers opened around the region, homeless shelters saw larger crowds and cities in the New York area are taking special measures to look after those most vulnerable to the cold. Outreach teams were searching New York City streets for homeless people at risk of freezing to death.
Temperatures in the Northeast are expected to rise above freezing over the weekend, before the arrival of another blast of frigid air that was already affecting the Midwest. In Wisconsin, a record low temperature was set Friday morning in Green Bay, where the mercury dipped to minus 18. The National Weather Service said that topped the 17-below-zero mark last recorded in 1979.
