Sure, today will be okay with cloudy skies and highs around 30, but a new system will come through tonight and possibly bringing another inch or two of snow. The snow, though, is not our main concern; that'd be the extreme cold that will follow. Temps will plummet overnight and won't get out of the single digits tomorrow. Wind chills will be as low as -20 as gusts to over 40 mph sweep the area. Lows tomorrow night will dip to around -5 (or even lower). Um, bundle up? We think it'll be sunny tomorrow but to be honest, who cares? Not like it's gonna warm anything... Enjoy today's tropical weather and try to envision a 40 degree drop over the next 36 hours. Also, today would be the perfect chance for those of you who haven't yet shoveled your sidewalk to, you know, shovel it or get the kid next door to do it.
