STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 New York City residents are contending with biting cold in the wake of a winter storm that brought over a foot of snow to the five boroughs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some may hope this snow will naturally melt, but according to meteorologists, freezing conditions are here to stay for quite some time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn general, temperatures are not getting above freezing \u2014 at least for an extended time \u2014 in the foreseeable future,\u201c AccuWeather<\/a> Senior Meteorologist Tom Kines said.<\/p>\n

Freezing temperatures have persisted for days on end in the city. However, Thursday and Friday could bring some of the coldest conditions seen so far this year.<\/p>\n

Both Thursday and Friday are expected to bring single-digit lows to the city, Kines told the Advance\/SILive.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get out into the suburbs and you get far enough away from the city and there will be some areas that get down close to zero, if not below,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In anticipation of these conditions, the National Weather Service<\/a> has issued a Cold Weather Advisory for the five boroughs set to go into effect at midnight and last through 10 a.m. Friday.<\/p>\n

That advisory noted that wind chills as low as 7 below are expected. Such wind chills could result in hypothermia if residents are not careful, according to the weather service.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s high will climb to just 17 degrees Fahrenheit before dropping to a low around 8 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the weather service. On Saturday, the daily high will reach around 20 degrees before dipping to about 12 degrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we get past Saturday night, the next few nights \u2014 if not several nights \u2014 it doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s going to get down into the single digits,” Kines said.<\/p>\n

Forecast highs from Sunday through Wednesday range from the 20s to lower 30s; daily lows will be in the teens, according to the weather service.<\/p>\n

With more snow forecast to come down with Sunday\u2019s nor\u2019easter<\/a>, any accumulation that does stack on top of the existing snow will linger in the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 New York City residents are contending with biting cold in the wake of a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116734,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-116733","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-staten-island","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-staten-island","12":"tag-staten-island-headlines","13":"tag-staten-island-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
