Arctic Air to Keep Southeast in a Deep Freeze Through the Week

Tomorrow’s high will jump to 30 degrees.

That’s how cold February has been—so cold that when the temperatures rise to freezing in Fahrenheit it’s a relief. But it’s only for a day.

“Additional waves of frigid air will continue to flow southward out of Canada and into the central and eastern United States this week, said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist. “The weather pattern into the weekend will mean more dead car batteries, frozen water lines and water main breaks. Deliveries of coal, fuel oil and propane will keep up a brisk pace as costs from heating homes and businesses take a bigger and bigger bite out of the budget.”

How cold was it this morning? it was -4 degrees at Westchester County Airport at 6 a.m., the National Weather Service said.

These temperatures are more than 20 degrees below average, Hudson Valley Weather points out.
