Dangerous Arctic Blast Hits Tri-Lakes This Weekend, Bringing Freezing Temps and Frostbite Risks
Published 3 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, January 22nd.
We're starting this morning with a weather alert that everyone in the Tri-Lakes region needs to pay attention to. If you thought this week's single-digit temperatures were cold, buckle up. An even more dangerous Arctic air mass is moving in this weekend, and meteorologists are calling it the coldest temperatures we've seen all season. The National Weather Service says highs on Saturday won't get above zero, and overnight lows could plunge to twenty below. But here's the really concerning part: wind chills are expected to reach negative forty degrees. That's dangerously cold. Frostbite can set in on exposed skin in less than ten minutes, so if you can avoid going outside this weekend, the experts strongly recommend you do. The Arctic front will arrive early Friday morning with possible snow squalls and gusty winds that could make travel treacherous. The good news is that meteorologists have high confidence in this forecast several days out, so the National Weather Service will likely issue specific cold weather alerts later this week telling you exactly when to exercise extreme caution.
On a lighter note, if you're looking for indoor activities to stay warm this weekend, there's plenty happening around town. The Elovaters are performing tonight at Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington at seven PM if you're in the mood for live music. And if comedy is more your speed, Emil Wakim is performing at the Vermont Comedy Club this evening as well.
Up at UVM, students can check out Winterfest happening tomorrow night from seven thirty to nine thirty at the Dudley Davis Center. It's a great way to enjoy some winter activities with friends before that brutal cold arrives.
There's also a storytelling masterclass happening this weekend at the Flynn Theater if you're interested in sharing your own story. The workshop runs through Sunday and welcomes all experience levels.
In municipal news, Mayor Miro Weinberger is holding his regular monthly meeting this afternoon at four thirty at Zero Gravity Brewery if you want to connect with city leadership.
Finally, keep vulnerable neighbors and friends in mind as this dangerous cold approaches. Check in on elderly residents, people experiencing homelessness, and anyone working outdoors. Hypothermia can develop gradually, and people might not realize they're in danger until symptoms become serious.
This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
