For the 3rd weekend in a row!
We are again on the edge of the current projected path so a slight shift either direction could significantly change the forecast numbers.
Regardless of snow or not, temps will be frigid again!!!
If we do see any snow it is likely to stick and hang around for a few days.
Additionally if you or your animals have to be outside, please make sure you take precautions for cold exposure.

TOO far out to tell IF we will get snow or not, just be careful and make careful decisions about this weekend. Stay safe and provide a warm place for all your animals!

In the middle of Holiday season, please remember that your pets aren’t always as willing to welcome your guests into their homes and their territory.
Bites are preventable if you keep remember this! ❄️⛄️
