Bitterly cold air settled into the region as Canadian high pressure built in. Temperatures plummeted to 5 to 30 degrees below zero across east central New York. Brisk westerly winds diminished during the evening, becoming light and variable to calm after midnight. The winds resulted in wind chill readings of 10 to 40 degrees below zero.
Numerous schools were closed or had delayed starts across east central New York due to the extreme cold.
