View across New York Harbor toward the Statue of Liberty (New York, New York)—February 28, 2015. The Harbor was filled with ice floes and large stretches of the Hudson River were completely frozen. February 2015 had a mean temperature of 23.9°F (-4.5°C) in New York City, the 3rd lowest on record. Only February 1885 (22.7°F/-5.2°C) and February 1934 (19.9°F/-6.7°C) were colder.

Stacked Ice Floes

A close-up of ice floes that became stacked on the Hudson River (Sleepy Hollow, New York)—January 30, 2014. The January 21-30, 2014 timeframe saw the temperature average 20.00°F (-6.67°C) in New York City. That was the coldest 10-day period since January 21-30, 2005 when the temperature averaged 19.95°F (-6.69°C). As a result, numerous streams, ponds, and lakes iced up, some developing sufficiently thick ice to allow for outdoor skating.
