LANCASTER – A sudden taste of winter-like weather is in store for our area this week as a dominant surge of Arctic air will be sweeping out of Canada and reaching as far south as the Gulf Coast. Forecasters warn that this pattern will introduce some of the coldest air since last spring or winter and will signal the end of the growing season for many that have yet to experience a hard freeze already this autumn. With colder temperatures coming our way as we head towards the winter months, now is the time for communities to winterize homes and businesses. Taking measures such as sealing drafty areas, insulating pipes, and draining outdoor faucets are important steps ahead of the winter season. Additionally, ensuring your home’s primary heating source is in working order ahead of needing to utilize it in cold weather.
