'Coldest air of the season' forecast for Valentine's Day Weekend

Single-digit and sub-zero temperatures are expected in the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic this weekend as the polar vortex pushes cold air south past Canada. The large cities of the East Coast - Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York and Boston - should anticipate seeing temperatures 20 to 30 degrees below normal. While hypothermia and frostbite will be threats to those planning on spending time outside, homeowners should take the necessary measures to protect against pipe burts and vehicle owners should check and make sure their batteries do not die.
