It's going to be a chilly Valentine's day, whether you've got someone to cuddle up to or not.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio warned New Yorkers to take 'extreme precautions' over the weekend, which could see the coldest temperatures in a decade for much of the Northeast.
The region will be hit by a 'life-threatening' icy blast that will send many cities' temperatures below zero as the polar vortex returns.
A wind chill advisory was in effect for New York City beginning Saturday afternoon and continuing to noon Sunday, with the forecast predicting temperatures of 2 degrees.
Wind chills are expected to drop 18 to 24 degrees below across the region and wind gusts may reach 45 mph.
But the Big Apple will have it easy compared to the likes Boston, with a low at 2 degrees below, and temperatures in Worcester, Massachusetts to drop as low as 11 degrees below.
Weather Channel Forecaster Michael Palmer said anyone who dares step outside Sunday morning will feel like they're 'walking into a freezer'.
'This will be the coldest air for more than a decade,' he told NBC News.
The National Weather Service warned that residents take precautions to protect themselves from frostbite or hypothermia conditions.
De Blasio told New York residents to heed cold-weather warnings, adding that city workers would also bring people living on the street to shelters or hospitals.
Meanwhile, a midwinter heat wave is smashing records in California.
Temperatures on the southern West Coast rocketed into the 90s for the second consecutive day on Tuesday even as the warming Santa Ana winds that came in on Saturday began to fade.
Forecasters said strong high pressure will continue through the week, keeping afternoon temperatures well above normal until at least Valentine's Day on Sunday.
