The National Weather Service is predicting that some of the coldest weather the Northwest has seen in nearly 20 years is on the way. Temperatures are expected to drop into the twenties by Saturday, and possibly into the low teens by Sunday and into Monday. Temperatures aren’t predicted to warm much until the middle of next week. While there’s a chance of snow and some wind in the current forecast, hopefully it won’t be enough of either to cause a loss of power (and heat!) during the cold snap.

Islanders are reminded to keep an eye on pets and livestock, and most of all, each other. Don’t be shy about checking in with neighbors and anyone else you know who might be in need of a hand.
