(WXXI News & AP) Although the wind chill warning expired at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, wind chills later in the day could still dip to as low at 10-below zero at times.
The actual air temperature Monday morning hit minus-7, tying a record set in 2004. The temperature should eventually rise to around 8 above during the day.
Skies will be mostly sunny for much of the day. The low for Monday night is expected to be minus one, and the high on Tuesday around 20 with some flurries.
With these bitter cold temperatures, medical professionals remind you to cover exposed skin if you are going to have to be outdoors for any length of time or you could face the risk of frostbite.
There were also a number of accidents Sunday night, and that is due in part to the frigid temperatures which really limit the effectiveness of road salt. Tow trucks have been very busy responding to accidents, pulling cars out of snow banks and starting cars with dead batteries.
With President's Day falling on Monday, it will at least limit the number of closings and cancellations.
Frigid cold is nipping at New England after the region's fourth winter storm in a month blew through Sunday, piling another foot of snow on top of 6-foot-high mounds in Boston.
The bone-chilling blast of cold is coming with strong winds and forecasters warn of possibly the coldest temperatures in years. Wind chills in New England may reach as low as 20 to 40 below zero. Matthew Belk of the National Weather Service warns frostbite can develop in "a matter of minutes."
Meanwhile, forecasters say a winter storm could bring snow to parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia and move east. Once out to sea, the storm could turn north and drop more snow on the Northeast on Tuesday.
