Chilly Wednesday with highs in mid-50s

Take advantage of today's quiet weather to make your final preparations for tomorrow's arctic blast. Gas up the car, get those non-perishable foods, wrap pipes, cover plants, the whole shebang before dangerous cold plows in around midday tomorrow. Wind chills could get close to zero and this will be the coldest air since the Presidents Day freeze 2021. One bit of good news is that icy roads are much less likely this time except in areas where sprinklers or other pipes coat a street. Weather should be clear and cold for Christmas.
