There is a brick wall of single digit, freezing temperatures fast approaching in the form of another blast of arctic air. Enjoy the current temps in the teens because it's going to become very cold, very fast today. The single digit temps will start tonight with a forecast low near zero degrees (and we may see some snow with that). If the mercury crosses the five degree mark Wednesday, we should feel lucky. That arctic air and the wind chills will keep things frozen into Thursday.

Go stock up on some bacon and beans. We'll need it.
