Love birds planning to spend their Valentine's Day outdoors will have to bundle up, as it will likely be the coldest one on record for much of the Northeast.

Temperatures will dip so low, it will be too cold in New York City for the annual Central Park Ice Festival.

The Central Park Conservancy says Saturday's event has been canceled due to the weekend's major arctic outbreak, which could bring sub-zero temperatures as 20 states in the Midwest and the Northeast brace for possibly 'life-threatening' wind chills, according to The Weather Channel.

In the eastern half of the country, a dip in the jet stream is making way for an arctic air mass to drop in from Canada, causing temperatures to plunge below zero, with wind chills of 20 to 30 degrees below zero.
