The Big Apple felt more like the North Pole early Saturday morning, with major airports reporting record low temperatures, Central Park hovering in single digits and Bryant Park’s iconic water fountain looking more like a massive icicle.
John F. Kennedy Airport in Queens reached a frigid record low for the date of 4 degrees, breaking the old record for the same date there in 1996, Fox Weather Meteorologist Christopher Tate said Saturday. Newark Airport and LaGuardia Airport in Queens both logged lows of 5 degrees, also breaking previous lows recorded in 1996 of 7 degrees and 10 degrees, respectively.
In Central Park, the thermometer likewise dropped to 4 degrees at 7 a.m., nearing a record low for the same date of 0 degrees in 1918, according to Tate.But with the wind chill, the outside air felt like it was minus 15 degrees at 6 am. “This arctic blast certainly means business,” said Tate. “We’re certainly off to a very chilly start to the weekend here in the city.”
He added that New Yorkers willing to brave the early morning cold should bundle up, as frostbite to fully exposed skin could develop within 20 minutes under the Arctic-like conditions.A Minnie Mouse performer in Times Square struggles to stay warm.The frigid weather will be short-lived, though, as temperatures are expected to rise to 30 degrees by late Saturday and shoot to as high as 50 degrees on Sunday.
