Forecasters are predicting single-digit temperatures and wind chills for the first time this winter, with the potential for snow accumulation this weekend. In response, the Governor has activated the state’s severe cold weather protocol.

Anyone who needs shelter or assistance should call the United Way 2-1-1 helpline. The United Way 2-1-1 website also provides local, state and federal information and resources including a list of warming centers and homeless drop-in centers.
