ROCHESTER FREEZES OVER NEXT WEEK

Written By: Scott Hetsko

Remember January 2004? That year we had a bitter cold snap with over a week's worth of below zero temperatures in the morning and several afternoons where the mercury didn't reach 10 degrees! I bring up this memory to prepare you for later next week. There will likely be a 5-8 day period beginning next Wednesday where afternoon highs will struggle to reach 10 degrees yet again.

Many towns away from moderating influences of Lake Ontario will watch the air dip well below zero some mornings. Huge Arctic high pressure will build in which will means lake snows only hug the shoreline late next week. Several reinforcing shots of polar air will visit into late January. OLD MAN WINTER RULES...GET READY FOR IT!
