Key Highlights

AccuWeather issued a forecast more than five days in advance for record-setting cold in Boston and never changed the forecast

Other sources did not predict the temperature as accurately as AccuWeather, frequently changing their forecast

THE MOST ADVANCED & CONSISTENT FORECAST

AccuWeather's expert meteorologists provided AccuWeather For Business clients with the most advance notice and consistent forecasts compared to our competitors. Businesses that did not use AccuWeather's SkyGuard® warnings service didn't get the advance warning they needed to better protect their people, property, and profits. The temperature from February 4 into February 5 in Boston was -10F, the lowest temperature Boston has observed since 1957.

  • AccuWeather maintained this forecast in the days leading up to Friday night
  • All other weather sources frequently changed their predictions leading up to Friday night, even increasing forecasts higher over time
