There’s no respite in sight from the worst of winter. Not even in Texas.
Forecasters say nuisance snowstorms — nothing like earlier this week, but enough to hamper cleanup efforts — will dust the Northeast over the coming days. High temperatures won’t climb out of the single digits in many places Friday, and a brief warmup on Saturday will be followed by another blast of arctic air next week.
Meanwhile, winter storm alerts were posted as far south as the Rio Grande on Thursday, and even Houston and San Antonio were expecting ice by night. Schools were closed in Minneapolis, which woke up to a temperature of 18 below and a wind chill of minus 38.
Crews have already struggled to clear the streets of New York after a storm dropped a foot of snow on Tuesday. Mayor Bill De Blasio said late Wednesday that “more could have been done” to clean, particularly on the Upper East Side, according to NBC New York. He warned New Yorkers about the extreme cold in a tweet.
Forecasters’ only suggestion to the winter-weary Northeast was to bundle up. Temperatures will continue to be as much as 30 degrees below average, said Michael Palmer, a lead meteorologist at The Weather Channel.
