The cold weather means we could see issues pop up from pipes freezing, especially for northern counties.
We finally get back above freezing for everyone by Sunday afternoon.
The weather is going to be brutally chill this weekend. Temps crash into the teens tonight (wind chills single digits.) We barely get above freezing tomorrow afternoon (some areas north won't.) Wind chill values will make it feel like teens and 20s all day tomorrow. Stay warm! pic.twitter.com/GgspZEE0Hh
