Hudson River freezes after frigid temperatures
The Hudson River in New York City has partially frozen following a weekend storm that brought frigid temperatures to the region. The persistent cold weather has led to ice buildup on both the Hudson and East Rivers. As a result, the NYC Ferry service experienced temporary disruptions on Tuesday morning, with certain route landings being skipped due to the icy conditions. This phenomenon is a direct consequence of the single-digit wind chills experienced across the Midwest and Northeast, which have extended into the New York City area, maintaining the cold snap.
