Get ready to wrap up, New York! The temperatures are tumbling and Jack Frost is at your doorstep, twirling his chilly icy scepter. Today, December 15, 2023, the Big Apple falls under the spell of a crisp, cold day, bracing itself for a maximum of 12°C and a chilly plunge to a minimum of 3°C.
The cause of this temperature nosedive seems to be a cheeky frosty air mass, chauffeured in by blustery winds, who have audaciously decided to park themselves right above the city. Wisps of chilly ether have been swirling down avenues, sucking the warmth out of every nook and cranny, heralding the arrival of an uninvited winter chill.
The chill has transformed the concrete jungle into a majestic, yet frosty wonderland. Streams of commuters cocooned in their winter armor, gambling with the icy winds, carve their paths through the frost-kissed city. Puffs of white clouds escape the lips of inhabitants with every utterance, narrating tales of an unexpected winter king’s visit.
If we talk numbers, the mercury is not planning on shooting past 12°C during the zenith of the day nor does it plan to cuddle any higher than a measly 3°C as the city greets the obscure darkness.
The sun, seemingly shy, crept up over the horizon at 07:13 AM only to coyly retreat back, hiding behind the silhouettes of skyscrapers, at an early 04:29 PM. It seems that even the sun prefers watching the city’s winter drama from the comfort of distance.
Interestingly, the city is experiencing a dry cold, with humidity levels dropping to a moderate 52%. This parched air, while a bit harsh on the skin and the sinuses, narrates tales of flaking paint, static shocks, and potential respiratory risks to inhabitants. It whispers, 'Wrap up and hydrate, my dear New Yorkers, for I am here to stay.”
Yet amidst this shivery ordeal, promising news cascade from the weather bureau. The city is not expected to experience any rainfall today and even the snow sprites have decided not to make an appearance, thereby bestowing upon the city a rather ‘dry’ reception. The inhabitant’s umbrellas and snow boots can hibernate for a little longer.
So charming New Yorkers, Button up, pull out your gloves, let your breath fog up your scarves, and step out audaciously to experience the winter wonder delivered today! It’s the city's rendition of 'chilly' December jazz, complete with nature’s own Ice-man at the helm. The weather might be stone-cold, but the spirit of New York? Forever warm and indomitable!
