ACCUWEATHER ALERT: Frigid start to 2018

NEW YORK (WABC) -- 2018 arrives in the New York area with some of the coldest weather of the season, with potential wind chills below zero.

Monday will be frigid with sunshine and a biting wind as temperatures stay in the teens, but feel more like single digits or even below zero.

It'll still be quite cold on Tuesday with some sunshine and highs in the lower 20s.

Clouds will increase Wednesday with highs "warming" up into the upper 20s.

Thursday will be mostly cloudy and cold with a period of snow possible if a storm gets close enough to the coast. That same storm may also just stay well offshore and spare the region of any snowfall.
