Well, ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for the unexpected, the very harsh, the most extreme, and the hardcore: this weekend will prove to be intense. Friday will bring a 30 percent chance of showers. Yes, showers. So drag out your rainboots and raincoats and umbrellas – it might very well be wet. And as for Saturday, that’s when things really get wintry: expect strong winds with icy temperatures as low as 43 degrees. Yes, 43 degrees. So whip out your scarves and sweaters and jackets and blankets and bear furs. And if you plan to actually venture outside on Saturday, make sure to wear an Eskimo snow suit or two. Sunday will usher in period of rest from extreme weather, so enjoy the partly cloudy day. And the rest of the week should be pretty mild, calm, sunny, clear, and boring.
