Bitter Cold Forecast for the Week

(Undated) – Following a weekend that brought as much as eight inches of snow to the area, very cold weather is on tap for the rest of the week. According to this morning’s “Hazardous Weather Outlook” from the National Weather Service, the coldest readings will occur Tuesday and Wednesday night when lows dip to near zero or below. Authorities are reminding the public to plan on snow-covered and slippery road conditions as areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility.
