January 15, 2009 New England, it sure is cold out there Play video

(Prat Thakkar, NECN) - Singe digits temperatures may just be rolling over the horizon as New Englanders approach the weekend.

In the morning hours around Copley Square, only those who needed to be out and about actually were doing so. Runners who typically start their morning with an wakeup jog chose otherwise. There was very little hustle or bustle.

NSTAR workers were some of the very few out in the cold conditions, taking care of some utility work. And it was actually warmer below ground, where they were working on some cables.

NECN's Prat Thakkar has the story in the video player above.
