In New York State, temperature of Glens Falls fell to as low as minus 31 degrees Celsius, according to National Weather Service (NWS). Thick mist and bone-chilling freeze have turned parts of the famous Niagara Fall into ice.

The NWS predicted a high of minus 10 degrees Celsius on Friday and minus 11 degrees Celsius on Saturday in New York City. The low temperatures will be minus 15 degrees Celsius on Friday night and minus 14 degrees Celsius on Saturday night.
