Northeast Sees Coldest Temperatures in Decades...During a Mild February




A potent blast of arctic air brought the coldest temperatures in decades to several Northeast cities Valentine's Day morning.
Boston fell to minus 9 degrees on Feb. 14, making it the coldest temperature recorded in the city since Jan. 15, 1957, or nearly 60 years. New York City slipped below zero for the first time since Jan. 19, 1994.
The odd thing about all of this is that every state in the Northeast saw a warmer than average February overall. For some New England states, it was a top 10 warmest February.
This cold air mass on Valentine's Day weekend was very potent, but short-lived.
