An Arctic blast gripped much of the Northeastern United States on Tuesday with bitter cold and sub-zero wind chill factors, prompting numerous school districts across the region, including Boston, to cancel classes for the day.
The frosty air mass sweeping New England brought single-digit temperatures to most of Massachusetts, with the added chill from winds making it feel as cold as zero degrees Fahrenheit and below "for just about everyone," the National Weather Service said.
Anticipated transportation delays due to COVID-19-related driver shortages was also a factor in the decision to shutter Worcester schools, to avoid leaving schoolchildren waiting at bus stops for too long, the district tweeted. In Rhode Island, the state Emergency Management Agency announced public warming centers would be opened on Tuesday in 33 communities for those who need to seek temporary shelter from dangerously low temperatures.
