It looks like we are in for a deep chill on Christmas weekend. Predicted temps will set records.

Friday won't get above freezing at all, but at least we will be in double digits. Saturday and Sunday will begin the thaw, but most folks in central Louisiana are simply not equipped for such cold. In short, it's going to get interesting.
