"Hazardous Wind Chills are expected late tonight through
Friday morning in New York City, its surrounding suburbs, Long  Island, Coastal Connecticut, and much of Northeast New Jersey.

Wind Chill temperatures as low as 15 below zero
due to air temperatures of zero to 5 above,
along with Winds of 15 to 25 mph with Gusts up to 35 mph
will create a dangerous situation for those venturing outside
including pets and livestock and prolonged exposure may cause frostbite and and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken.

Additionally, frozen pipes and hydrants are possible. 

If you must venture outdoors,
make sure you wear a hat and gloves." ~ National Weather Service
