When it comes to describing the weather, NY1 is not known for toning it down. A year or so ago, a parade was described as having occurred in "hot" weather when the high that day was 78 degrees.

Now, the weather graphic for tonight is characterizing a low of 22 as "frigid." At this time last year, NYC had already seen lows of 25 or below six times.

What's going to happen when the low is 10? Or 1? Journalists that value hype more than science will be out of adjectives once again.
