This is bitter, brutal cold weather. If you absolutely have to be outside, please take precautions against damage to your skin. Better yet, stay inside or severely limit your exposure outside. And as cold as today is, tomorrow promises to be even worse. Be careful, folks. This weather is nothing to fool around with. By Thursday we should see the light at the end of the tunnel and be way, way up to the 20s – which will seem comfortable in comparison. Wednesday is still going to be too darn cold, but not quite as brutal as today and tomorrow. Take care of yourself, your pets and anyone you think might be in trouble and need help to live through this weather.
