The National Weather Service predicts the lowest wind chills could be between -15 and -45 degrees Fahrenheit from Friday night into Saturday morning. Isolated power outages and snow squalls are expected and the risk for frostbite will also be high.

Some of the larger school districts including Boston, Chicopee, Holyoke, Worcester, and Springfield have canceled classes for Friday, but more closures could come our way.
