NYC: Arctic Blast to Usher in Last Week of February

Yet another round of frigid arctic air will settle across the New York City area as the last week of February begins.
Hats, gloves and winter coats will be the common attire for people around Boston on Monday and Tuesday with daytime temperatures being held about 20 to 25 degrees below the normal high of 43 F.
As the arctic air arrives, residents and motorists should watch for black ice Sunday night into Monday morning.
Temperatures prior to sunrise Monday will actually be well into the 20s, but will then fall into the teens for the daylight hours. Brisk winds will create even lower AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures.

Monday night is expected to bring the lowest temperatures during this arctic blast with lows dipping down into the single digits.
However, this should fall short of reaching the current record low for the date of 1 degree below zero set in 1873.

Temperatures are forecast to rise heading into Wednesday, but the comparatively warmer air will precede a storm system that could also bring snow showers to the region.
These snow showers are not expected to bring much in terms of snow accumulation before dry and colder weather returns by Thursday
