extreme cold

If you leave your pet outside in the extreme heat or cold in Utica, expect to get a ticket. That's according to a new ordinance added to the City Code.

What happens when you combine boiling water with the freezing cold temperatures of CNY? You're either talking about a hot tub or a cool science experiment.

Sunday's NFL game between the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings was one of the coldest of all-time with temperatures hitting an estimated -15 to -20 below zero with wind chill.

It's no surprise that we're dealing with a bitter cold snap.  But how cold is it around the region?  My phone told me Utica was at 11 below zero just before midnight on January 23. I wondered if I could find colder temperatures to make me feel better - and I sure did.

This weekend will usher in some of the coldest air we'll see all season in Central New York with lows well below zero overnight.  The Centers for Disease Control recommends the following for preparing for a cold snap: Drinking water Canned/no-cook food (bread, crackers, dried fruits) Non-electric can opener Baby food and formula (if baby in the household) Prescription drugs and other medicine Fir
