Bitter cold temps on the way
January 2, 2017
The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory for bitter cold, in effect from 11 p.m. today through 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Temperatures are expected to drop into the single digits over the region late tonight, and northeast winds of 10 to 20 miles per hour will make it feel like it's as cold as 15-below. The strongest winds, gusting to 25 miles per hour, are expected to occur between Sandpoint an Coeur d'Alene and in Washington's Columbia Basin.

Those going outdoors should be sure to bundle up well as frostbite and hypothermia can occur quickly.
