Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has declared a cold weather advisory in the city through Thursday due to arctic temperatures in the forecast.
Wu’s declaration comes as the National Weather Service warns of wind chills that will reach below zero on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
“I urge all residents to take necessary precautions to stay vigilant, prioritize their safety, and look out for your neighbors,” Wu said in a statement. “Our teams are working around the clock to prepare the city, and we advise our residents to help protect each other during these harsh conditions.”
Wu urged residents to act fast in clearing snow from Sunday night’s storm before it freezes over.
“We are reminding property owners to please remember to shovel sidewalks, especially before the bitterly cold weather arrives and snow freezes over,” Wu added.
Wu also reminded residents of the increased risk of hypothermia and frostbite, especially for those experiencing homelessness, older adults, and young children. Cold weather may also exacerbate health issues in high-risk individuals.
