3:17Now PlayingA blast of extreme cold has settled over the New York City area, sending temperatures and wind chills plunging to levels not seen in years.
With spring still weeks away, shoppers are rushing to stock up on winter essentials, including heated vests, jackets, gloves and base layers, as strong winds make the cold feel even more punishing. Sporting goods stores near Union Square reported steady crowds as residents and tourists alike searched for ways to stay warm.
Forecasters warn that prolonged exposure to these conditions can be dangerous, especially when wind chills drop well below zero. The cold snap is also impacting travel, with hundreds of flight delays and cancellations reported at major area airports.
Officials urge everyone to bundle up, limit time outdoors and take precautions during this stretch of bitter winter weather.
