Gusty winds and frigid temperatures are bringing sub-zero wind chills through much of the weekend. Stay indoors as much as possible and bundle up if you have to go out, NYC Emergency Management Commissioner Deanne Criswell said. Remember to virtually check in on your friends, family or neighbors who may be most vulnerable to the extreme cold.
Prolonged exposure to cold can lead to frostbite, which often results in red and painful or pale skin, and hypothermia.
Symptoms of hypothermia include intense shivering, dizziness, trouble speaking, lack of coordination, sluggishness or drowsiness, confusion or shallow breathing.
If you see symptoms of hypothermia or frostbite, call 911 and follow instructions, or go to the emergency room.
