NEW YORK (WABC) -- Brutal cold continues across New York City and the Tri-State area, with bone-chilling wind chills dipping as low as 5 to 10 degrees below zero in some spots.
Cold weather advisories remain in effect, with frostbite possible on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.
While daytime temperatures may briefly approach the freezing mark this week, strong winds are making it feel far colder.
Black ice, flurries, and another potential blast of Arctic cold heading into next weekend mean winter hazards are far from over.
Bundle up, limit time outdoors, and stay weather-aware.
