The last time the Big Apple hit zero degrees was in 1994.

Temperatures will fall to the teens early today and stay in the teens all day.
There is a light at the end of the freezing tunnel, however. The NWS said winter storm warnings and advisories remain in effect in those areas. Low around 23. South wind around 9 miles per hour. “And also they’ve got advisories up through the northeast”.
Take a look at the windchill charts in the gallery of weather maps to see how wind and below-zero temps can conspire to make the air feel considerably colder against bare skin, the definition of wind chill.
Just the thought of what’s coming this weekend has us shivering in our trousers. A wind chill advisory is in effect for these locations through 10 a.m. Sunday. Falling temperatures. Wind chills: -5 to 0.
Sunday night: A 50 percent chance of snow, low around 15. However, the possibility of milder temperatures means a wintry mix of snow and rain is possible.
A bit further inland, the lower Hudson Valley, northern New Jersey, and much of CT are expected to have temperatures in the single digits and wind chills in the -25 to -30 degree range. Wind chills will bring the lows down to 20 to 30 below zero overnight. So as this system moves in, there will be a chance of snow for parts of the area first. Wind chill values as low as -17.
Thursday: Partly sunny, with a high near 42.
The arctic blast will hang over the Island on Sunday-meaning Valentine’s Day revelers will have to bundle up to enjoy the festivities.
Monday: A 20 percent chance of snow, high near 31.
Saturday: A slight chance of snow showers after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 31.

Snow should break out across the Hudson Valley sometime Monday – but whether it will start in the late morning or hold till the evening is uncertain.
