NEW YORK, NEW YORK (77WABC)-A mass of arctic air swept into the Northeast, bringing bone-chilling sub-zero temperatures and closing schools across the region for the second time in less than a week.
In New York City, commuters and school children bundled up with temps in the teens and single digits in the outlying areas of the tri state region.
Many school said they didn’t want children standing outside for extended periods of time waiting for buses. Worcester, Massachusetts, schools in a tweet said COVID-19 cases among bus drivers would make some buses up to 30 minutes late.
In New Hampshire, it was minus 26 degrees atop Mount Washington — known for its weather extremes — with a wind chill of nearly minus 72. Many states opened warming centers where people could go to get out of the cold.
