NYC has a forecast high of 12°F on Tuesday. Can't remember ever seeing a high that cold for downstate NY. Oddly, my town in Massachusetts has a forecast of 16°F that day.
Chicago will enjoy a high of -2 on Monday.
Cambium's GFS link forecast an afternoon high of -3°F on Tuesday for me.
Not sure how cold it'll be next week here but can't be much cold than it is today,
our high was 8F (-13C) at just after midnight, currently just 3F (-16C),
that's balmy compared to other places, Goose Bay forecast high today -31C,
Quebec City -26C with wind chill warning (-51C wind chill).
Do you know what the other models are forecasting?
ECWMF looks like it had a little too much to drink. -16F in NYC? In 2014? I don't know about that one lol.
At any rate, NYC has a good shot at going subzero for the first time since 1994. Consider that there are New Yorkers in their mid 20's who don't remember experiencing any temperature below 0F; that could change in the next week. Considering that the all-time record low is -15F, -16F is certainly conceivable under extremely favorable conditions, which I assume the Euro has in place. It would smash the January record low of -6F, but December's is -13F and February's is -15F, so there's no reason similar temperatures couldn't occur in January.
Will it actually happen? I don't think so. My current thinking is that the primary axis of cold will be in the Midwest down into the upland South, which would take NYC out of all-time record territory and into merely record territory (i.e. singles below zero).
Fri: -2/17, Mostly sunny and windy
Sat: 16/30, Light snow and wind

Wed: 2/19, Few snow showers
Thu: 16/30, Partly cloudy
That comes to an average of 3/15 for the week, which wouldn't look out of place in my dream climate during January, which averages -14/3, during one of its milder and stormier patterns. It's rare to see a Chicago forecast that is that congruous with my dream climate over the course of a whole week. Perhaps not coincidentally, it's rare for Chicago to have a high as cold as the one they're forecast to get on Monday. 3-4F colder would set a new all-time record low high temperature.
Cold day with a high of 20 F/-7 C. Currently 14 F/-10 C with a windchill of 0 F/-18 C. Snowing now with total accumulations of 4-8 inches expected. This is going to be quite a cold storm for this area. Windchills down to -29 C. This is a crazy forecast:

I usually go by our local met office. Tom Skilling in WGN is very good at forecasting the weather. Here is what we have coming at us
Heh, those temps look like they've come straight out of a random number generator, particularly when you see them in Fahrenheit and you think in Celsius.
I like the forecast for Green Bay. High of 3F, low of -17F on Sunday for the Packers game. Certainly may be one of the coldest in recent memory, even colder than the one in 2008
Maybe even Ice Bowl level cold! The Ice Bowl is still the coldest NFL game ever played (-13F at kickoff).
I read on twitter that the Chicago police are calling people and telling them to stock up on food and stay inside until next week.
