After a Warm Weekend, Wallingford Headed for the Deep Freeze

Unseasonably warm temperatures over the past few days transition to an unseasonably cold week.

After a glimpse of spring-like temperatures over the weekend, Wallingford headed into the depths of winter this week.

Temperatures will be even colder than normal for the third week in January, according to the National Weather Service. The weather service warns that "prolonged exposure to these dangerously cold conditions could result in frostbite, hypothermia, or death."

Snow that started on Monday night is expected to end Tuesday morning, with accumulations of 1 to 3 inches likely.

The high for Tuesday should be 26 degrees with the low forecast as 6 degrees.

Wednesday and Thursday look to be the coldest days with a high of 19 and a low around 4 for Wednesday, and similar temperatures predicted for Thursday.

Another winter storm may be on its way for Friday. The National Weather Service now predicts a 50 percent chance of precipitation.

Keep that winter gear around because temperatures are not likely to see the 30s again until next Monday.

And I don't suppose the low rate of male participation in the labor market (a bit of info I missedRead More somehow) has anything to do with a RISE in female participation? You aren't suggesting that women just stay home and out of the jobs that somehow "belong" to men, are you?

Touchy, touchy! All I asked was how MAC compared the two apparent misstatements. My guess was thatRead More the obvious disrespect that was shown by the way he refers to the President was a hint that he was a biased commentator. His defenders have called me a lib, but most folks who know me wouldn't call me that at all. I was hoping for some "fair and balanced" discussion here, but the name-callers have arrived. I ask MAC to provided some reference to support his latest pronouncement that the President "wants to destroy our economy." There are a lot of commentators who would disagree with your assessment of the economy anyway, but when did the President say he "wants to destroy our economy?"

We now have a president who wants to destroy our economy and most all of what made America theRead More (formerly?) greatest and most FREE nation in the world! He has done a fair job of accomplishing that destruction, has he not? The male labor participation rate is now the lowest since WWII, and energy costs have "necessarily skyrocketed" as he demanded!! Then we have "Common Core" and the like for the nation's schools, under which the regime denies the Constitution and instead teaches "social justice" and that America is responsible for the poverty in other nations!
