Dangerously cold temps in Finger Lakes as winter storm hits Northeast (video)

As dangerously cold temperatures gripped the Northeast Friday, many schools and organizations in Central New York closed their doors for the day, bracing for the cold.

But there was beauty to be found in New York's Finger Lakes Region. Fog drifted across the north end of Seneca Lake at sunrise as birds rested on the water, and the sub-zero wind gusts left snow dancing across the surface near Seneca Lake State Park.

Just after sunrise, the wind chill in Waterloo, N.Y., dropped to 21 below zero.

Wind chill warnings have been issued for across Upstate New York. Curious how cold it will feel near you? Check out this interactive map showing projected temperatures across the state.
