New York City feels like it's in the teens Tuesday night as temperatures have dipped over 30 degrees in less than 24 hours.

"These temperature drops are really kind of frustrating. I haven't unpacked any of my winter clothing and I don't know if I should unpack it yet," said one New Yorker. "It sounds like I should, but then, who knows, it can go up another 20 degrees again the next day."

GOODBYE, 60 DEGREES

It was 63 degrees in the city at one point Tuesday morning; it plummeted to the 20s by late Tuesday.

The temperature record was broken at LaGuardia Airport and Kennedy Airport, and, as of 10 p.m., it was close to the record of 26 degrees for Central Park.

Temperatures are projected to be 22 degrees Wednesday in Central Park, with most temperatures set to be in the 20s across the city. Expect plenty of sunshine, but wind chills will be in the teens and 20s.

The city will not be as cold later in the week, but it will still be below average. The average high in the city at this point in November is around 50 degrees.

FORGET ABOUT THE SNOW

Salt spreaders roamed the roads earlier in the day to prevent them from turn icy amid the rapidly falling temperatures, although there was only a dusting of snow.

"I love it! I am getting ready for the winter, it is going to be exciting," said another New Yorker.

The extreme preparedness was perhaps in response to a snowstorm nearly a year ago, when around six inches of snow fell during rush hour, bringing the city to a screeching halt after the forecast called for less.

There was extreme gridlock, major mass transit delays, and commuters and schoolchildren left stranded, sparking criticisms about the city's emergency response.

"I think we are taking a very conservative approach to make sure we are at the ready should this change on us," New York City Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia said Monday about the city's snow preparedness this time around.
