Waves of much colder air will return to the region next week as the polar vortex takes a southward dip across eastern Canada.
Even though the arctic air will first sweep into the Midwest and across the relatively warm Great Lakes waters, temperatures could rival the cold mark recently set for the winter so far.
During the first part of next week, there is a chance the air is cold enough for additional storms to bring a periods of snow or a wintry mix to New England.
