Much of the Hudson Valley will see single digit lows and subzero temperatures through the end of the work week, according to the National Weather Service forecasts. There is some chance of relief after the weekend, but not much. High temperatures on Monday will likely reach the low thirties.

And the possible brief climb from subfreezing temps will be followed by another chance of snow in the region over the weekend.

"We've been below freezing since Friday night and may remain below freezing through next Monday, if not longer," according to the NWS. "That is over 9 days of below freezing temperatures! For context, the longest stretch of freezing temperatures at Central Park was 16 days in 1961."

The National Weather Service said that the Arctic cold snap is more than just an annoyance. In cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced, which can lead to serious health problems, the agency reminded.

The NWS shared a few helpful tips on how to avoid, spot, and treat frostbite and hypothermia from the CDC.
