This Valentine's Day in Boston wasn't quite a heartwarming experience, as it became the coldest one on record.

It was also the coldest day here since 1957, reported The Boston Globe reported.

With the temperatures declining to minus eight degrees in Boston on Sunday morning, the winds plummeted to minus 28 degrees, with "potential life-threatening wind chills," according to WHDH Boston.

In nearby Worcester, temperatures touched minus 16, while the winds fell to minus 36.

"For people stepping outside on Sunday morning, it's going to be like walking into a freezer. This will be the coldest air for more than a decade for much of the Northeast," said Michael Plamer of the Weather Channel, according to the Inquisitr.

It was quite dangerous, in fact, for those who wanted to step out of doors. Frostbite could have set in just 10 minutes.

The Boston Public Health Commission told the people that emergency shelters will be opened for those seeking relief.

Weather predictions improved---even if the weather did not-----with assurances that from Monday, the temperature will swing back to normal and then climb up steadily.
