New York City residents are bracing for a chilly night ahead as a freeze warning takes effect overnight, with temperatures plummeting into the 20s and wind chills making it feel even colder.
The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning valid from tonight until 9 am on Tuesday, predicting that inland areas will see temperatures drop to the upper 20s while coastal regions are expected to dip to the low 30s. This means that for all intents and purposes, residents can expect it to feel like the teens or low 20s outside.
In preparation for this cold snap, New York City Emergency Management is urging residents to take precautions. This includes keeping pets indoors, protecting outdoor plants from frost damage, running faucets in exposed pipes to prevent them from freezing, and dressing warmly when venturing outdoors.
The agency is also advising drivers to exercise caution on the roads, as they warn of icy conditions and possible showers later in the day as a cold front moves through the area. With this cold snap comes an added layer of complexity for commuters, as city officials recommend planning extra time on Tuesday morning to clear ice from car windshields and warm up their vehicles before getting back on the road.

. I'm in NYC right now and it's already pretty chilly outside, but I've heard it's supposed to get even colder overnight. I'm gonna make sure my pipes are all good by running the water and stuff, don't wanna have no frozen pipes freezing my whole day off 
. And yeah, driving is gonna be a real pain with all this ice and whatnot... hope I can get to work on time 
.
, can you believe it's freezing in NYC already! 
. I'm just hoping my pipes don't freeze and burst at my place 
. And poor pets are going to have to stay indoors for this one... not fun 
.
. Anyway, freezing temps in NYC? Not surprised, been there done that... well not literally, but you know what I mean 
. Freezing is no joke, especially when it comes to pipes and stuff like that. Run those faucets just in case, don't wanna be stuck with burst pipes all night 
. And good luck getting out of bed early tomorrow, commuters! Add some extra time for clearing ice from your windshield, thanks 
. Why do these cold snaps always have to hit during rush hour?! 
I do hope all the elderly folks are staying cozy and safe at home. And poor pets, stuck indoors on a cold one 
Can't imagine how frustrating that must be for them. Anyone got tips on how to prevent those pipes from freezing? 
I mean, who needs a weather app when you got Mother Nature trying to freeze your pipes and turn your city into an ice rink? 
anyway idk how ppl handle frostbite already but im guessing its gonna be a crazy morning commute 2day with all the ice and stuff on the road i'd rather just stay inside w/ a hot cuppa and watch the snowflakes fall outside 
my mom always says take precautions and all that jazz so hopefully everyone stays safe 
and now we're freezing our butts off in the Big Apple 
. And can we just say that city planners really should've thought this one through before they built all these fancy new skyscrapers in the middle of winter? 
anyway, ppl need 2 take precautions lol. like, keep pets in & plant stuff covered, run faucet 4 exposed pipes (i know it sounds weird but trust me its a thing), & dress warmly pls! 
And drivers gotta be super careful on the roads, icy conditions & freezing temps = bad combo 
! i mean, it's definitely not ideal but think of all the cozy vibes you can create indoors with a warm cuppa 
️ and some fave books 
? anyway, gotta feel bad for those poor pupgies 
, hope their owners are keeping them snug & safe. also, have you seen those temps plummetering into the 20s?? 
. On the bright side, it's a great excuse to stay indoors with a cuppa and catch up on some reading or puzzles - perfect way to spend a chilly evening! I've got my trusty hot water bottle at the ready, just in case I need to cozy up a bit more 
why can't we just have one day without freezing our butts off?! 
i mean i no its 4 da pets tho they dont wanna get all sick n stuff 
. newsflash: if it's cold outside, just use a thermometer that doesn't need to be plugged in and connected to the internet! and what's up with these freeze warnings? used to be we'd just call it a snowstorm or a blizzard... now it's all about the "freeze warning" this and the "winter storm advisory" that
