"Prolonged heating demand, frozen pipes, dangerously low AccuWeather RealFeel Temperatures, and power outages can all occur this week," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex Duffus.

During this stretch, temperatures are forecast to be 12 to 25 degrees below average for this time of year. (See the third image above for details.)
