Winter Weather Slated to Get Colder and Snowier

Get ready for an even bigger chill, New York – and maybe even more snow. National Weather Service forecasters were predicting dangerous wind chills of -1 to -5 degrees from Sunday night into early Monday morning.

They were also warning that “a significant winter storm” could hit the city on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“This is the weirdest weather I’ve ever seen and I’m 34,” said Jason Garcia, of Hunt’s Point, Bronx. “Getting around sucks because they don’t clean off the snow right. It’s depressing.”

New York, which generally sees about 21 inches per winter, has gotten more than 36 so far this season. Much of that fell in a two-day December blizzard that dumped 20 inches on some parts of the city.

“I’m sick of it,” said cable guy Julio Balle, 37, also of Hunt’s Point, who feared a repeat of the city’s botched blizzard response.

“The mayor will probably screw it up again,” he said. “The whole thing will be mismanaged.”

The temperature Saturday was below freezing at 24 degrees with a wind chill near zero, but it was expected to plummet to an icy 10 Sunday night.

“I’ve been to Canada where it is really cold,” said Bronx native Dave Laramore, who was waiting to catch a train to Baltimore. “Though it’s cold, I still get to where I need to go without a problem.”

Edwardo Leason, 59, said he just bundles up in more layers.

“I don’t like walking outside, but I have to do it,” said Leason, of Jamaica, Queens. “I’m wearing a little bit more than usual: three shirts, a sweater and a jacket.”
