...FRIGID NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING...

High pressure with clear, calm conditions atop the snowpack 
provide the perfect mid-winter setup for a frigid night and early 
Monday morning.

Temperatures will bottom out in the single digits, single digits 
below zero in the normally colder low spots away from rivers, 
even isolated double digit lows below zero in the normally coldest
sheltered mountain valleys, particularly for northern portions of
Randolph and Pocahontas counties.

Even with little or no wind, these low temperatures can lead to
frostbite in as little as 30 minutes on exposed skin, as well as
hypothermia. Bundle up if you must venture outside anytime 
tonight through early Monday morning, including the morning 
commute and bus run. If traveling, be prepared in case of a 
breakdown.
