Tomorrow, February 9th, will mark the 75th Anniversary of the coldest day in Central Park history.
Today’s temperature reached a balmy 56 degrees in the park. And we hope you enjoyed it. In any case you certainly enjoyed it more than the park goers on this date 75 years ago. It was on February 10th in 1934 that the following headline appeared in the New York Times:
Mercury 14.3 Below Zero On New York’s Coldest Day; Six Dead and Hundreds Treated for Frostbitten Ears and Noses — 8 to 10 Below Due Here Today. THE FREEZING WEATHER CAUSES A MIST IN THE HARBOR. 14.3 BELOW ZERO ON COLDEST DAY
It marked the coldest temerature ever recorded in Central Park.
