BOSTON - Several cities in the Northeast could see their coldest temperatures in over a decade this weekend.

Boston's Logan Airport could get its coldest temperature Sunday morning since it dipped to -7 degrees on January 16, 2004. It hasn't been colder than -7 degrees since Jan. 15, 1957. In city records dating to 1872, there have been only 27 days during which temperatures have dipped to -8 degrees or colder. All but one of those days were either in the late 19th century or the first half of the 20th century.

Incidentally, subzero cold is quite rare in the city of Boston. They've only had nine subzero lows so far this century, three of which occurred last winter.

New York's Central Park hasn't dipped below zero since Jan. 27, 1994. They'll flirt with that Sunday morning.

Why This Won't Last Long

Now for the good news, if you're already starting to get a little winter fatigue. The bitterly cold air will be very short-lived. Temperatures will already begin to warm up a bit starting Monday, and next weekend should be much less cold. (Source: The Weather Channel)
