Bone Chilling Temperatures Accompany Winter Storm

The past 24 hours have been frigid and windy as an arctic air mass emerged from Canada this week. Wind chills repeatedly reached sub-zero levels and brought snow Wednesday night. Thursday offered some relief, boasting the highest temperatures we saw all week at 37.

As the weekend kicks off, expect temperatures to be a far cry from Thursday’s above freezing theme. Overnight lows on Friday are expect to be below zero and will carry us to highs in the teens all weekend. This will set the tone for the far future, as we won’t see temperatures above freezing for the time being.

The question on everybody’s mind going into the weekend: how much snow? The answer is a little bit clearer as we write this on Friday, we cautiously predict at a minimum a foot of snow with two feet being our upper ceiling for the forecast this weekend. Heavy snow will fall all day on Sunday and linger well into the overnight hours. After it’s all said and done, the impacts to travel on Sunday and Monday will be significant.
