NYC, Boston Homeless Populations in Danger as Blizzard Approaches

Blizzard conditions are barreling towards Boston and New York City Thursday night, and a dangerously low drop in the temperature will follow right behind the storm.
For most, the temperature drop may be a temporary inconvenience felt dashing from the car to inside the home or office, but for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are homeless or who cannot afford adequate heating, freezing temperatures can be deadly.

Last month, seven people died of exposure to the cold in San Francisco when an unseasonable drop in temperature left many vulnerable.

For cities such as Boston and New York, freezing temperatures are more common. Many metropolitan areas across the country have instituted Code Blue procedures to help assist people who have nowhere to go when the weather is hazardous.
