Today's Weather: North Polar

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Dec 16, 2008 2:45PM

This week's weather is so hairy, even Santa has to find alternate transportation. Yesterday's frigid temps and icy conditions yield to today's...frigid temps and snowy conditions. While the mercury will claw its way to around 20, the gusty winds will keep the wind chill at or below zero a good chunk of the day. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the area as snow will begin in the afternoon and continue into the night. Temps will remain steady in the lower 20s tonight, but screw the reindeer and saddle up the tauntaun as we'll awake tomorrow with between 2 and 5 inches of fresh snow on the ground.
