Cold/Wind Chill in Eastern Ulster, New York

A strong cold front crossed eastern New York during the morning hours on February 7, 2026, ushering in an arctic air mass which remained in place through the morning hours on February 9, 2026. Localized strong winds occurred with the frontal passage during the early morning into the afternoon hours on February 7 which included a 66 mph wind gust at the New York State Mesonet site near Voorheesville, a 55 mph wind gust at the Albany International Airport and a 53 mph wind gust at the New York State Mesonet site near Herkimer.

The combination of gusty winds and air temperatures falling below zero (as low as 20 degrees below zero in spots) resulted in wind chill values (feels-like temperatures) to fall to between 15 and 35 degrees below zero for many areas during the afternoon or evening hours on February 7 into the morning hours on February 8.

Despite less wind, cold conditions persisted once again during the overnight hours on February 8 into the morning hours on February 9 with air temperatures falling below zero once again (as much as 20 to 30 degrees below zero across some higher elevations) leading to wind chill values (feels-like temperatures) between 10 and 30 degrees below zero.
