Stay indoors you say, Mr. Mayor? What a brilliant idea. We mean really, what else can we do... when there's work going down on sixteen subway lines?!
“These temperatures can be life threatening—especially for seniors, infants and people with medical conditions," de Blasio stated.
"We are urging residents to stay inside as much as possible, take care of yourselves and your neighbors, and wear multiple layers of warm clothing when outside. Most importantly, do not let your children play outside unsupervised and for long periods of time."
