It's going to be very, very cold this weekend, so please prepare if you're heading outside for an adventure. Me? I'll be cuddled up with a book because the California girl in me is still sensitive to temperatures below 30 degrees.

Heads up

Bundle up! An arctic blast is on the way, and temperatures are expected to plummet across the state. The metro area should get a blanket of snow, while the mountains are forecast to see up to a foot of fresh powder in some areas.
