VERY COLD WEATHER SWEEPS IN FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY

1. On the heels of the blizzard, an Arctic front will swing through on Friday, re-enforcing the cold for the weekend. Before that, light snow should break out before the front comes through; expect light snow accumulations from Thursday night through early Friday morning, which will freshen the snow pack and also cause slippery travel on roadways.

2. Temps drop sharply friday afternoon and night, with single-digit lows likely overnight Friday night. Strong winds Friday night through most of Saturday will make for dangerously cold conditions to people with prolonged exposure to the elements.
