After The Storm: Bitter Cold For Christmas Eve, Xmas Day Before Big Change In Weather Pattern After The Storm: Bitter Cold For Christmas Eve, Xmas Day Before Big Change In Weather Pattern
After The Storm: Bitter Cold For Christmas Eve, Xmas Day Before Big Change In Weather Pattern Let's hope Santa Claus is wearing an extra pair -- or two -- of long johns.

After a sunny start, clouds will increase during the day, but the high temperature will only be in the mid…
