Despite frigid temperatures Central Park Zoo’s adorable snow leopard cub, 6-month-old Malala, enjoyed the light dusting of snow that blanketed Manhattan. She and her mother were among many Gotham dwellers who were in awe of the picturesque powder that hit the East Coast Tuesday, marking the first snowfall of 2015. But the beauty of the fluffy flakes will fade for New Yorkers thanks to the icy winter winds. New Yorkers should prepare to bundle up as temps are expected to stay below 25 degrees with the possibility of snow through Saturday. Today is expected to be the coldest one this week, with weathermen predicting a high of only24 degrees.
