It's going to be COLD!

It will be dangerously cold next week. Do not leave home without a winter emergency kit in your car.

Car batteries will likely die next week because we are talking about the kind of sustained cold weather that normally happens in Minnesota or North Dakota where they have plug-in outlets for block heaters in their cars.

From the NWS: (emphasis is mine)

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Thursday/...
Issued at 233 AM EST Thu Jan 24 2019

The long term period continues to look very cold toward mid to
late next week. Multiple disturbances in the cyclonic flow aloft
will bring chances for mainly snow to the area. The exception to
this may come Monday into Monday night, when a very brief warmup
accompanies a more organized system moving through the Great
Lakes. This may allow precipitation over the southern half or so
of the area to change over to rain briefly before changing back.

850 mb temperatures a strong Arctic high in the wake of another
weak wave after that early week system are very low and subzero
low temperatures will definitely be in play mid to late next week,
particularly if some snowfall can accumulate.

Blended initialization handled things relatively well and required
only minor adjustment.
