Temperatures in New York City on Friday reached a high of 19 degrees, the coldest midday temperature for Feb. 28 since 1871, the New York Daily News reported.
On top of that, meteorologists are predicting a near 100 percent chance of another round of snow to fall on Monday.
"Right now, we're 90 percent sure there will be a storm. What we still are fine tuning is the amount of snow" National Weather Service meteorologist Lauren Nash told the Daily News.
New York State could see up to 8 inches of snow.
"We're 30 percent confident there could be 8 or more inches of snow. But we're three days out, so that could change.
Nash said the unusually frigid temperatures could last until next Thursday, the Daily News reported.
"We're in an arctic air mass from the north, and there's a high pressure system keeping the cold air in place, so we've got a couple of days of cold to get through," Nash told the Daily News.
Nash said the weather should temporarily warm up during the weekend, with temperatures in the 30s on Saturday and Sunday.
The low temperatures expected next week are abnormal for this time of year. Nash told the Daily News the average high temperature for early March is 45 degrees.
The constant snow is also unusual. This February is the second snowiest in the city's history. The snowiest February saw 36.9 inches in 2010. This February the city received 29.9 inches of snow, according to the Daily News.
The most snow to fall during the winter was 77 inches in 1996. So far the city has seen 56 inches of snow this season.
"We still have a ways to go to get there, but March is always a month that can go back and forth," Nash told the Daily News.
