Highs will be well below zero in the upper plains... Maybe even into the Chicagoland area (slightly below zero... maybe). Well below freezing highs are also possible in the East... Maybe even into the DC area. We are talking about possible high's in the teens in DC and Philly. This would be one of the coldest scenario's however, as it currently looks favorable for upper 20's. Lows will be in the teens... and if the colder setup occurs maybe even below zero. Boston and NYC should easily experience highs in the low 20's... and maybe upper single digits for Boston IF the colder scenario prevails. Everyone will get cold from this one, but if we get sub-zero readins in the Mid-Atlantic remains to be seen....
With this patter now, there is a chance that the big cities could experience some snow as a system rides up the arctic front... some snow could also form behind the front. Don't look for much snow however, as this pattern should be cold and dry. (February could be another story- cold and snowy).
