Tomorrow night, lows of 12-16 will approach record-low levels for the dates as Arctic Blast continues to roar in.

Hey Chad,
Was just wondering what your thoughts are about the Sunday/Monday storm ?
I know models are not great handling this storm..
I have heard a few people mention possible blizzard conditions, if the storm pans out…
was just wondering what your new thoughts are about it.
