Boston winter:
Dave Epstein, The Boston Globe: ‘frostbite not an issue before over 30 min on EXPOSED skin’
Yes it’s cold outside this morning, frostbite not an issue before over 30 min on EXPOSED skin. Recess usually lasts <30 minute, takes place mid-morning/afternoon, less cold then. As long as kids have jackets & hats etc. the cold isn’t dangerous. If running around, great exercise! pic.twitter.com/3sIVV8gTo2

Cindy Fitzgibbon, WCVB: ‘Arctic air is with us for the next few days’
NEXT 7 DAYS

Arctic air is locked in the next couple of days keeping storminess to the south. The Cape/Islands get clipped by a touch of snow briefly tonight. Cold eases late week with temps finally climbing above freezing this weekend. Chance of light snow early next week #WCVB pic.twitter.com/PBTUt2lO26

Eric Fisher, WBZ: ‘A couple cold days on tap’
A cold couple days on tap. Boston should be able to crack the single digits for the first time in a couple years either Tuesday night or Wednesday night. Some subzero lows in the usual colder/interior spots. #wbz pic.twitter.com/ZZGx4AMxoU

Outside of a chance for the Cape/Islands to get nicked with some light snow tomorrow night, it’s a whole bunch of cold and dry this week. #wbz pic.twitter.com/kr8zZ6fjC4

Tucker Antico, Boston 25: ‘Nearly 2 years since Boston (Logan AP) fell into the single digits’
It’s been nearly 2 years since Boston (Logan AP) fell into the single digits.

We’ll make a run these next 3 mornings, but Wednesday will be our best shot. Some sub-zero lows out there too.
Fun fact: The last single digit low was in 2022, others have been above and below! pic.twitter.com/VhsdYnrHiM

Bundle Up New England! Bitter cold & a biting wind are creating sub-zero wind chill values for many. How long will it last? https://t.co/7NFGPiN3lF pic.twitter.com/Q5Pa7aKICq
