Thanksgiving 2018 will remain in history books as one of the coldest of all time.
The leader of this unusually early onslaught in the Arctic is a cold front that will deposit Siberian air over the northeast. It offers a gift for winter lovers and a curse for all: the coldest air mass of the season, worthy of a day in January.
At Thanksgiving dawn, temperatures will drop to around 20 degrees Celsius, making it the third coldest turkey day of all time. The last time we got colder during this holiday, it was in 1901, when temperatures reached a minimum of 19 degrees.
The cold will be ruthless throughout the day, with temperatures never leaving the twenties and chills that should be around 5 to 15 degrees during the parade.
According to previous forecasts, the icy winds were so strong that it could have had an impact on the parade balloons and their flight status. According to NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill. The green light was given to the parade and the balloons should fly at the 92nd Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade starting at 8:15 am.
If sustained winds exceed 23 mph or gusts exceed 34 mph, the balloons will not fly during the parade.

Susan Tercero, producer of the Macy's Parade, said her team was working closely with the police and authorities to ensure the parade runs smoothly.
The parade will include 26 tanks, 16 giant balloons, including crowd favorites like Charlie Brown and Olaf, fancy balloons, more than 1,000 cheerleaders and dancers, and fanfares.
Newcomers this year include floating floats featuring Ninja Turtles, Elf on a shelf, "Elf Pets", Kinder Chocolate Factory and a sensational safari adventure by Kalahari Resorts. An old favorite, Tom the Turkey, has had a makeover this year. With a new coat of paint, flapping wings, rolling eyes and a swinging head, Tom will inaugurate Thanksgiving as a battle tank.
Diana Ross, John Legend and Leona Lewis are among the performers.
The parade is scheduled to begin at 9 am from Central Park West and 77th Street and Santa Claus at around 12 o'clock.
