New York City got off easy this weekend, with only an inch or so of snow. But you'd better steel yourself, because a blast of arctic air will be sending temperatures down into the single digits this week.
The cold air is due to arrive on Wednesday and by Thursday temperatures should get as low as a teeth-chattering 7 degrees. If that prediction holds, the city will narrowly miss breaking its record low for Jan. 15, which was set on a 0 degree day in 1957.
