Residents of Boston awoke to chilly temperatures in the 30s this morning, after experiencing high temperatures in the 70s yesterday. Things didn't warm up much during the day. People wore coats and hats to guard against the cold weather that was compounded by a wind chill that was expected to dip into the teens.

The forecast calls for high temperatures in the 40s today. That's about 15 degrees below average for the area at this time of year. Just yesterday, the region was 15 to 20 degrees above average.

The winter blast comes from a Canadian high-pressure system that is moving into the United States from Ontario. It sent temperatures plunging in Michigan just after midnight. Parts of that state saw record highs in the upper 60s before the front arrived.

Residents of the northern plains will have to wait a little longer for a cool down. More record temperatures are expected there through Saturday. Temperatures are expected to drop slightly on Sunday.
