And again from the National Weather Service....

... ARCTIC AIR WILL RETURN TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT...

THE COLDEST AIR IN NEARLY TWO DECADES IS LIKELY TO AFFECT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND... BEGINNING TONIGHT AND LASTING INTO FRIDAY.

THE NEXT SURGE OF FRIGID AIR WILL ARRIVE IN THE FORM OF AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONTAL PASSAGE... ALONG WITH GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS.

TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY WILL HOVER BETWEEN ZERO AND 10 ABOVE... WITH BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS... ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS.

CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO WORSEN THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS A REINFORCING SURGE OF FRIGID AIR OVERSPREADS NEW ENGLAND. THIS AIRMASS WILL LIKELY BE THE COLDEST AIR WE HAVE SEEN IN NEARLY TWO DECADES. IN ADDITION... THE FRIGID AIR WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS OF 25 TO 35 BELOW ZERO... AND RECORD COLD TEMPERATURES OF 5 TO 15 BELOW FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. EVEN CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS SHOULD SEE TEMPERATURES DROP TO AROUND ZERO.

Sigh.
