BROOKLYN HEIGHTS \u2014 It was a time of boots and scarves, snowplows and snow<\/a> blowers, and quick walks along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade to catch a glimpse of drifting ice floes in the East River. Winter Storm Fern dropped more than a foot of snow between Jan. 25-26, and much of it still remains, frozen on the ground.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn\u2019s Arctic weather continues, with sub-freezing temperatures and the promise of more snow to come. A polar vortex could bring one more round<\/a> of frigid air across the city around the middle of February, according to AccuWeather.<\/p>\n
