Frigid Conditions Loom Over NYC as Temperatures Plummet to Teens.
A harsh Arctic blast is set to descend upon New York City, bringing temperatures plummeting to record lows that will feel like they're in the teens by Friday. The National Weather Service has issued a cold front warning, which will bring frigid air from Canada into the metro area, resulting in temperatures dipping to the upper 20s and lower 30s.
The impending chill is expected to be exacerbated by biting winds, rendering exposed skin vulnerable to frostbite. "Be prepared – just bundle up," cautions John Cristantello, an NWS meteorologist. "Try not to leave any exposed skin, if possible. Stay indoors, you don't wanna be outside for extended periods of time if you don't have to be."
Friday's temperature will be so low that it may shatter records in certain parts of the city. LaGuardia Airport is expecting a record-low 20 degrees on December 5, while JFK airport is bracing for a similar reading of 21 degrees. Central Park, meanwhile, can expect temperatures well above those levels – though still uncomfortably cold at 11 degrees Fahrenheit.
The respite will be short-lived, however, as warmer temperatures are expected to follow over the weekend before another chilly blast from Canada brings the mercury back down in the upper 20s and lower 30s on Monday.

I'm not looking forward to this one... like, who wants to be bundled up just to go outside? I know some people love the winter vibes, but for me, it's all about cozying up with a hot cup of coffee or tea while the snowflakes fall outside. 
Anyway, I guess it's good that the meteorologists are warning us about this cold front... always better to be safe than sorry, right? 
. I hate how these cold snaps pop up out of nowhere. First it's like "oh great, let's freeze to death", then suddenly it's like "wait, we're just gonna be all warm and cozy again". Can't the weather make up its mind? 
Anyway, I'm definitely packing some extra layers for Friday - think thermal underwear, gloves, and a face mask. Don't wanna be one of those people who gets frostbite on their nose 
. On the bright side, it's a good excuse to stay inside, binge-watch Netflix and drink hot cocoa 
️.
, I'm literally shivering just reading this 
! Like, teens?!?! How cold is NYC gonna be?! 
I hope people are taking it seriously, like John's saying - don't leave exposed skin out! Frostbite is no joke 
. Central Park at 11 degrees? Brrr 
. Can we just fast forward to warmer temps already? 
Like, this cold front warning is making me wanna hibernate till spring 
. Is it even possible to have a fun outdoor event in that kind of weather? I'm gonna stick to my cozy home with hot cocoa 
this is crazy! like, I know it's winter but teens? that's frickin cold 
. so glad central park has warmer temps tho, at least some place to escape the chill 
. guess we'll just have to bundle up and be all cozy indoors this weekend 
. how's everyone planning on dealing with this weather? 
! LaGuardia airport better be ready for a record low tho... I'm kinda stoked to see what records they break 
.
So I'm thinking about this NYC cold front thingy... it's crazy how quickly things can change weather-wise, right? Like, one day you're sipping hot cocoa by the window, and the next, you're like "where's my parka?" 
, like you'll-need-a-chipmunk-hair-bun-to-survive kinda cold 
. Idk how people in the 20s are gonna handle these temps... can't they just bring some hot cocoa and a parka or something? 
. And don't even get me started on trying to stay indoors and entertained during this time - it's so isolating! Anyway, I'm sure New Yorkers are all about bundling up and making the most of it 
. But can we please get some sunshine soon? 
. I mean, record lows in the teens? That's just harsh (pun intended). And don't even get me started on those biting winds - I'm low-key worried about all the poor souls who'll be stuck outside without proper gear. Bundle up, stay indoors... yeah, right like that's gonna happen to everyone 
. And then there's this tease of warmer temps over the weekend, only to bring back more frigid air on Monday? It's like the weather is just trolling us 
. Plus, who doesn't love the excuse to break out those fuzzy socks and snow pants? 
It's like a winter wonderland waiting to happen! And hey, records are meant to be broken... or in this case, shattered 
. anyone got thermal underwear to spare? 
I'm not a fan of these sudden cold snaps, especially when they're expected to come back around again next week 
! Temperatures plummeting to record lows in the teens? That's crazy talk! I'm talking 11 degrees Fahrenheit in Central Park? Brrr just thinking about it makes me wanna grab my parka and start shoveling snow... err, I mean, just bundle up like John Cristantello said 
and of course it's gonna be super windy too, because why would it be cold and not uncomfortable? i mean i'm all for dressing up warm and staying indoors, but come on, it's like the city is trying to make winter as miserable as possible. and records are being shattered left and right... like who even keeps track of that stuff? and what's with la guardia airport expecting 20 degrees? like, don't they have heating or something? 
think those old folks who live in central park are gonna be okay tho? 
️.
