Deep Freeze Heading to East Coast - Good Morning America

In another bit of irony -- the NYC Parks Department was slated to host the \"Ultimate Snow Day\" in Central Park on Saturday, Jan. 23 -- but that was cancelled because of a massive snowstorm that day.

Midwest

In the Midwest, the wind chill advisory is active today and tonight with winds chills as low as 30 below zero.

New England

In New England, the National Weather Service issued a wind chill warning from 4 p.m. Saturday to noon Sunday, warning of \"life-threatening wind chills and near record cold air temperatures.\"

The wind chill warning includes most of Massachusetts, except for the south coast. It also includes the northern half of Rhode Island and northern Connecticut.

Wind chills may be between 20 and 30 degrees below zero, with some locations possibly approaching 35 degrees below zero.

The worst of the wind chills there will be Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Air temperatures Saturday night into Sunday morning could fall to a near record cold along the New England coast, possible reaching 5 degrees below to 5 degrees above zero. Temperature could hit 5 below to 15 below inland.

Frostbite Danger

Wind chills in this cold can bring on frostbite in as little as 10 minutes, the NWS said, so outdoor exposure should be limited. If you are going outside, dress in layers, and keep your hands and head covered.

Snowfalls

Meanwhile, \"lake effect\" snow is accumulating in upstate New York and parts of lower and upper Michigan.

Up to 37 inches of snow fell in Mexico, New York, in the last 2 days.
