It may be the end of March, but Monday feels like winter is back, even if only for a short time.
The National Weather Service said an “Arctic front” is responsible for bringing the cold air and wind.
[Much Colder Monday Morning] An Arctic front will bring a shot of much colder air & gusty winds to Southern New England Mon AM. Here's an animation of hourly wind chills – by sunrise, down into the low to mid teens above zero for most & near to below zero in the Berkshires! pic.twitter.com/E8MBv5wKVb

In Boston, the wind chill forecast at sunrise was just 12 degrees.

There was also snow in some areas early Monday morning.
Light snow showers continue across northeast Massachusetts this morning so take it slow on the road if you encounter any reduced visibility. 🚗❄️ pic.twitter.com/CRJevA0H9d

Here’s what other local forecasters are saying about the cold:
We could be on the way to record chill this afternoon — the coolest high temperatures on record for this date! pic.twitter.com/gWpJQA1GCt

This shot of wintry air doesn't last long…but it's not a one day thing, either. Some new snow showers will crop up this afternoon to early evening, then we'll clear but stay cool with a wind chill around 30° at the warmest time tomorrow before spring air returns. pic.twitter.com/EDq8OR7gcr

We're getting dangerously close to record cold highs today. If we tap out at 33° in Boston, that'll tie a 129 year old record! pic.twitter.com/LmgMd5y8dN

A good 15 degrees below average for late March… only in the upper 20s and low 30s. Feeling more like January today with near record cold high temperatures for the date. Gusty, biting winds will make it feel even colder. #WCVB pic.twitter.com/jcL2SVCkYv
TUESDAY MORNING…

Will start with wind chills in the single digits! Near zero in Worcester. Not good for early season blooms. A bitter start for late March with the cold easing some in the afternoon. #WCVB pic.twitter.com/ASUGarOKzC
