Christmas Weekend:
We're dry, but still very cold and breezy to start off the holiday weekend. Saturday brings wind gusts between 30 and 40 mph. With a high of only around 10°, we'll still be dealing with wind chills of -10 to -20° for much of the day.

Winds finally become less of an issue by Christmas Day with gusts around 20 mph or less. It's going to take some time to rid ourselves of this arctic air though. Highs around 15° Sunday will still range from about 0 to -15°.
