NEW YORK — New Yorkers were hunkering down and hiding from the cold for a second straight day as temperatures across the city dipped below zero on Saturday.
More than 20 million people in New York and across the Northeast continued to endure what meteorologists expect to be a brief though potentially life-threatening blast of cold.
“The core of an Arctic air mass will be over the area early Saturday morning, with low temperatures in the single digits for New York City and immediate suburbs, with wind chills 10 to 15 below,” the National Weather Service said, noting it will be even colder farther north.
