Get ready folks for a bitter cold snap next week! Temps are expected to be freezing or below for a few days beginning early next week so make sure to cover the pipes, plants, and get the pets indoors. I've seen a few shares about warming centers and closures so we'll be sharing any info we come across on our social media pages.
