Bitter cold snap lingers, leaving Mass. temperatures well below average

Unseasonably cold temperatures and more snow is expected to end the week in Massachusetts.

Although Friday is expected to be mostly sunny, highs will only reach around the 20s for most of the state “and sit just around freezing for Cape Cod and the Islands,” according to the National Weather Service.

Springfield Public Schools reminded parents to dress students in layers, coats, hats and “shield your student’s lungs from extreme cold” to help keep them safe at bus stops.

The National Weather Service suggests three layers on the top half of your body and two layers on the bottom.

Scattered snow or rain showers are possible Friday night into Saturday morning. However, it’ll be less than an inch in most places.

Rain is possible through about 11 a.m. across Massachusetts on Saturday. But it’s only a slight chance, according to the National Weather Service.
