RT @NWS: Power outages are certain for some, especially in areas where the heaviest ice will accumulate on trees and powerlines.

The cold can be deadly--but even without power, there are still ways to warm things up. Closing blinds and curtains and closing room doors can help contain heat, and stuffing towels in the cracks under doors can help keep the warmth in. Don’t forget about eating and staying hydrated - food provides energy to warm the body.

In the east Atlantic, high pressure behind a cold front is supporting storm-force winds well north of our region, along with very rough seas (13-20 ft) north of Madeira & the Canary Islands. These seas will expand southward on Sat.
