The record-low temperatures didn't stop many New Yorkers from heading out and enjoying their Sunday's as usual. Our TaraLynn Wagner caught up with a few of them.

"It's nithering cold isn't it?"

That's one way to describe the record-breaking cold that descended upon the city Sunday.

Temperatures in Central Park dipped below zero for the first time since 1994. And that doesn't even factor in the wind chill — which clocked in at -21 degrees at JFK airport.

"Very cold," said one. "I've never been so cold!"

At least, not on February 14. This is the coldest Valentine's Day in 100 years, falling several degrees below the previous record of 2, and giving couples a good excuse to get a little closer.

"We can cuddle and spoon," said one.

"You can snuggle," said another. "Right exactly. That's the perks of it."

Despite the subzero temps, Winter Village at Bryant Park was bustling with activity. Some came to take selfies by the frozen fountain.

"We wanted to come down and take a picture of the fountain," said one. "It's nice and cool right now. Nice and cool? That's what you call this?"

Others flocked to the ice on the rink.

"It's a perfect day for ice skating," said one skater. "Because we're New Yorkers, that's what you do."

"We're always here, so today's not an exception," said another.

"Even if today is a cold day, it's still fun to enjoy with the family," said a third.

Pretty as it may be, city officials warn the extreme cold can be dangerous. They're urging everyone to stay inside as much as possible. If you need to go out, don't stay out for long and bundle up with layer upon layer of clothing.

"I have ordinary clothes, a jacket, a big heavy coat, two scarves and a hat," said one bundled up New Yorker.

"We literally have four layers and then gloves scarves and then hand warmers inside," said another.

You can also warm up from the inside out. Although hardly picnic weather, food stands at the park are open, with hot beverages selling like hot cakes.

"Hot chocolate, hot chocolate, lots and lots of hot chocolate," said Jodi Barr who was working the Waffles and Dinges cart at the park.

Luckily, this deep freeze will be fleeting. Temperatures are expected to jump to the 50s by Tuesday.
