‘Dangerous’ Cold Will Wreak Havoc on New York, Cold Safety Tips
Top New York officials say to prepare for "dangerous" cold weather this weekend across the state and provided great tips to keep you and your family safe.
Governor Kathy Hochul urged New Yorkers to prepare for dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills through Saturday morning. Several regions across the state, including parts of Western and Central NY, Finger Lakes, Mohawk Valley, North Country, and Capital District, are forecast to experience below-freezing temperatures and wind chills as low as -30 degrees.
The below zero temperatures bring an increased risk of hypothermia and frostbite, as well as an increased risk of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning from alternative heating sources such as portable space heaters and fuel-burning appliances.
"Forecasts are calling for another round of extremely cold temperatures throughout New York over the next few days," Governor Hochul said. "These conditions can be very dangerous if not taken seriously, so now is time to prepare. Be sure to limit time spent outdoors, know where to take shelter and as always, check on friends and family, if possible, to ensure their safety."
