Dealing With the Bitter Cold
Tim Furlong is in Bensalem talking to locals about how they're dealing with the arctic blast.
The Northeast is facing a brutal cold wave as a blast of Arctic air moves in from the Midwest, plunging millions of Americans from New England to the nation's capital into a deep freeze and dumping massive snowfall on the shores of the Great Lakes.
Washington, D.C., was bracing for what could prove its coldest stretch in almost a decade, the chief meteorologist for NBC Washington's Storm Team 4 said. Wednesday morning temperatures between 10 and 17 degrees could feel like subzero ones.
"I think I have on like 10 layers of clothes. It's so cold here! It's freezing!" tourist Jackie Stewart told NBC Washington.

"It's been bad," cleaning supplies worker Ricardo Rivera of Bethlehem, Pa., told NBC10 Philadelphia, showing an ice-filled spray bottle. "All the chemicals are freezing."
The New York City area got some of its coldest air in two years, with subzero wind chills shocking New Yorkers who had been treated to a relatively mild winter until now, NBC New York's Storm Team 4 reported.
In Chicago, amid dangerously low temperatures, an abandoned warehouse was coated in ice Wednesday morning after firefighters put out a massive five-alarm fire there, NBC Chicago reported. The Windy City saw its coldest day in years Tuesday with wind chills dropping to 20 below.
Northern Minnesota saw temperatures as low as 35 degrees below zero on Tuesday, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin experienced even colder wind chills, meteorologist Jeff Masters wrote on his WunderBlog.
Meteorologists from the National Weather Service warned that the shores of the Great Lakes, from Ohio to western New York state, could soon have to dig out from massive lake effect snowfall expected Wednesday.
In New York City, forecasters said the peak of the cold wave had hit overnight Tuesday, when the mercury dropped to the lower single digits. But the stinging wind chills throughout the region were expected to last all week.
The city was set for a high of 19 on Wednesday, with a wind chill making that feel like zero, according to forecasters.
In Connecticut, daily highs were not expected to break out of the teens Wednesday and Thursday, while overnight temperatures could feel subzero, according to NBC Connecticut's meteorologist.
The below-freezing chill in Washington was forecast to stick around several days, too — possibly through the weekend, forecasters said. Snow could follow in the capital on Wednesday night and Friday.
A coastal winter storm was expected to hit the New York area and New England late in the week.
