Cold winter weather is headed to our area with rain and snow in the forecast tonight and tomorrow. Temperatures could dip down to the teens the next couple of nights. There will be snow on the slopes and a few inches in town. Avoid frozen pipes and let those faucets drip. Disconnect garden hoses. Keep a consistent temperature and make sure your home is ready for cold and winter weather. Also, Halloween looks to be clear but chilly.
