Good morning!
Prepare for some pretty cold weather in the coming days. The National Weather Service forecast for Ontario shows today will be the warmest day – and that’s just going to be at about the freezing mark. The night temperature is headed for just 5 degrees Saturday night.
That means double-check your outside faucets, be sure your animals have what they need – and be careful with those space heaters!
