NYC braces for a sharp winter chill as temperatures plunge this week
New York City is preparing for a significant temperature drop this week, marking the start of winter. Daytime temperatures will dip into the low 50s and high 40s, with sunny conditions giving way to rain over the weekend. Nighttime temperatures will plummet to the low 30s from Monday, November 10th, bringing the first chill of the season after a six-month hiatus.
The Farmers Almanac predicts a colder winter than usual for the northeast, while AccuWeather suggests more snow than typical for the region. These forecasts align with the recent weather developments. The arrival of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and the preparations of ice rinks across the city further signal the onset of winter.

This sale is a welcome opportunity for those looking to escape the cold or visit loved ones during the holiday season. Notably, Amtrak's first winter train between New York City and Miami in 2025 will operate on its regular Silver Service schedule, with no specific winter train schedule or 'Winter Flash Sale' in place.
