the 10 to 20 below zero range. The time to frostbite will be less
than 30 minutes. Winds will be gusty and some snow showers will
be heavy, creating whiteouts as far inland as US-131.

can be expected through the weekend, then widespread accumulating
snow is possible Monday. The air following the system on Monday
could be the coldest in many years with highs between zero and 5
