...ARCTIC AIR IS NOW ARRIVING ACROSS EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...NEW
JERSEY...MARYLANDS EASTERN SHORE AND DELAWARE ...

TEMPERATURES THIS EVENING WILL BE FALLING SHARPLY AT THE RATE OF
3 TO 5 DEGREES PER HOUR FOR SEVERAL HOURS AS ARCTIC AIR ARRIVES ON
GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS OF 35 TO 45 MPH. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
PRECEDE THE ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC AIR THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY
FROM JUST NORTHWEST AND NORTH OF PHILADELPHIA UP INTO NORTHERN NEW
JERSEY.

NOT ONLY WILL DANGEROUS WIND CHILL ARRIVE BY DAWN...BUT THE COLD
AIR MAY FREEZE UP CAR RADIATORS NOT PROPERLY TREATED WITH ANTIFREEZE
AS WELL AS FREEZE UP PLUMPING ALONG NON INSULATED WALLS AND IN
CRAWL SPACES ALONG THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE HOME. LEAVING JUST A
TRICKLE OF WATER FLOWING FROM THE FAUCET CAN MINIMIZE THE FORMATION
OF ICE IN THE PIPES WHERE MARGINAL INSULATION EXISTS. TURNING UP
HOME THERMOSTATS FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO MAY SERVE AS A HELPFUL
DETERRENT TO FREEZING WATER PIPES ALONG THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF YOUR
HOME.

TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAY FRIDAY WILL BE AT LEAST 25 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL WITH WIND CHILL HOVERING NEAR 10 BELOW ALL DAY
EXCEPT NEAR 20 BELOW IN THE ELEVATED TERRAIN WITH GUSTY WEST
