"New York woke up this morning inside what feels like a walk-in freezer and, with that in mind, officials are very politely suggesting that everyone stay put. A blast of arctic air has settled over the region, dragging "real feel" temperatures into the teens and keeping actual highs below freezing, according to the National Weather Service. Gusts could hit 28 miles per hour, which means your face will meet the wind and immediately regret it."
"Heat rules are also in effect, which means landlords must maintain indoor temperatures of at least 68 degrees during the day when it's below 55 outside and no lower than 62 degrees overnight, no matter what the thermometer says outdoors. Hot water has its own requirement: a minimum of 120 degrees year-round. If your radiators are suspiciously quiet, dial 311."
"City Emergency Management says Monday marks the coldest day in the five boroughs since February. The guidance is straightforward: limit outdoor time and bundle up like you're starring in a North Face ad. The agency urges New Yorkers to watch for frostbite-numbness, pale or waxy skin-and hypothermia symptoms like shivering, confusion or drowsiness. Anyone spotting those signs should call 911."
