What happened to global warming???
New York City in for a frigid Thanksgiving with gusty winds for iconic Macy's Parade
Forget about the bird — New Yorkers should worry about defrosting themselves on Thanksgiving.
The coldest Turkey Day in more than 100 years was forecast for the Big Apple, with winds so blustery there was concern the weather could affect the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The mercury was expected to drop to the teens, but strong gusts will likely make conditions feel even more frigid as the parade’s iconic floats make their way through Midtown.
Officials said they still plan to hold the world-famous event but that they would adhere to city weather protocols to ensure people’s safety.
Large parade balloons will be grounded if sustained winds exceed 23 mph, or if gusts break 34 mph, a city Transportation Department spokesperson said.
And with officials predicting gusts of up to 35 mph, some revelers feared Mother Nature might spoil the party.
But Mayor de Blasio, speaking at a press conference held not far from where the parade’s beloved air balloons were being inflated Wednesday night, said he was more worried about the extreme cold.
“Get ready for an amazing parade but put on every layer you have in your household, wear every glove you can find, every scarf, hand warmers, whatever you’ve got, you’re going to need it. I want to tell everyone, be ready to enjoy but recognize it’s going to be really, really cold,” Hizzoner said.
