The Siberian Express arrives...

BioIts called the Siberian or Arctic Express because that's where it originates.  The massive amount of cold air has been building up in the arctic region near Siberia, and flood gates have broken.  Our lows for the weekend will range from -10° to -20°.  All that cold air is pouring through the country this weekend.  Cities as far south as Atlanta saw their first snow in three years.

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY has been issued for this evening through the day tomorrow.  Any and all exposed skin needs to be covered if you have to go outside this weekend.  If you do go outside take note of the safety tips below.  Frostbite can set in after as little as 10 to 20 minutes.  If you find yourself shivering constantly, that means you're in the beginning stages of hypothermia and it's time to get warm.

Stay warm and safe this weekend.


Thanks for checking in...
