(Le Mars) — Get ready for some frigid cold temperatures. Todd Heitkamp, a meteorologist with the National Weather Services says following the snow that is being predicted for Friday and Saturday, people can expect to see the coldest temperatures of the year.
That’s 20 degrees below zero as the actual temperature, and we haven’t even discussed wind chill factor. Heitkamp reminds people not to venture outside unless it is absolutely necessary.
Heitkamp doesn’t expect wide-spread blizzard “white-out” conditions, although he says isolated areas may have reduced visibilities. Heitkamp says the frigid arctic cold temperatures should only be around for the weekend, and by early next week the weather will improve.
