While records for

Long Island

specifically are often grouped with the broader New York City metropolitan area, the historical and current data regarding consecutive sub-freezing days are as follows: 

• Longest Recorded Stretch: The all-time record for the region (measured at Central Park) is 16 consecutive days with high temperatures at or below freezing, set in February 1961.

• Current Deep Freeze (2026): As of January 31, 2026, the area is currently in the midst of a major cold snap. Today marks the 8th consecutive day with temperatures failing to rise above 32°F.

• Forecasted Duration: Current AccuWeather forecasts suggest this streak could reach 12 to 14 days, which would be the longest since a 14-day stretch in January 2018.

• Recent History: Before the current 2026 event, the most significant recent cold streak occurred from December 26, 2017, to January 8, 2018, lasting 14 days.

• Extreme Records: While not a "consecutive day" record, the absolute lowest temperature ever recorded on Long Island was -14°F at Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach in 1967 and 2009. 

Gabreski Airport was (-10F) today.

How is it possible, that in 2026, someone is still heating their house with oil?
It's mind boggling.

Your kidding right? It's cheaper than electric and gas, half the population in my area uses heating oil, I only pay 400 dollars for whole year

I have oil here in NW NJ, natural gas lines don’t come out to rural areas, especially with rocky ground. Costs way too much to run they lines, it’s oil or propane for me.

Amen brother thank you

Gas is only dangerous when there's an illegal hookup.

Almost every time there was an explosion, it's because a 2 family house had 6 families living in it and the extra 4 had illegal hookups.

This is exactly the same place as the Euro, need about 20 miles north to get into NYC metro.

I won't post the same maps @VIRGAMAN posted, but there's another one also, right after the ones he posted. Parade of storms mid month.

KNYC finished 2.9 degrees below normal for Jan.
