Why is it so cold in the United States?

You'll want to bundle up like it's the middle of winter this morning!
But good news if you're not a fan of the cold. Temperatures quickly rebound to near average tomorrow into the weekend.

Behind a passing upper trough, winds again turn blustery today with gusts up to 30 to 40 mph (40 to 50 mph over the mountains). Wind Advisories have been issued for the Alleghenies. Otherwise, it will be a chilly day with cold wind chills.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our trunk to learn about our #MoCoRec programs and important safety tips to keep our community safe year-round.

When you change your clocks, test your alarms! Smoke alarms are designed to WAKE you & give you time to safely escape during a fire.
Smoke alarms? One of the smartest ways to #besafe. @mcfrs Chief Smedley's Top 8⃣ tips: bit.ly/438CirM
