The Hudson River has frozen over as far south as Manhattan only three times in recorded history, according to I.N. Phelps Stokes’s six-volume classic “Iconography of Manhattan Island.” It hasn’t happened since 1821. So this scene, captured by a reader, Harrison Hill, on Wednesday, looking south from the Chelsea waterfront to the skylines of Lower Manhattan and Jersey City, is about as close as we get these days.
