The surface of Hudson River in the vicinity of Manhattan froze 3 times in written history, 1821, 1780 and 1720, according to I.N. Phelps Stokes's ''Iconography of Manhattan Island.''

The surface further upstream would completely freeze but for icebreaker ships that keep the waters open for commercial traffic.

It is unlikely the Hudson would ever freeze completely as it is salty near it's mouth and upwards of forty-five feet deep.
