The coldest weather since last March will grip the New York City area through the middle of the week.
Daytime highs will be in the lower 30s F through Wednesday, while temperatures will plunge well below freezing at night. Temperatures typically range from a low near 40 degrees to a high in the middle 50s during the third week of November.
Factoring in wind and other conditions AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures can be 20 degrees lower than the actual temperature at times.
While RealFeel does not impact mechanical objects, the cold can penetrate drafty areas. Make sure water has been drained out of frost-prone pluming fixtures, to avoid costly damage and repairs.

If traveling cross-country near the Great Lakes, be sure to check AccuWeather.com for problems with snow along the way. There will be enough snow to strand motorists in northern and western upstate New York along Interstate-81 and I-90, for example.
The cold weather will allow ski resorts to make snow prior to Thanksgiving.
However, the extreme cold will not last very long.
Temperatures are forecast to rebound markedly this weekend. A storm is forecast to bring and perhaps fog later Sunday into Sunday night for early Thanksgiving travelers.
Even though the weather pattern will bring some additional chilly days next week, the pattern will be more typical of late-November, rather than late-December. Weaker, fast-moving storms will cross the nation with less extreme, less widespread cold.
