SULLIVAN COUNTY – If you have a pair of long johns, this weekend might be a good time to put them on.

Starting today and running through mid-day tomorrow, temperatures are supposed to be dangerously frigid throughout the Northeast as winds coupled with Arctic air turns the weather outside dangerously cold.

If you want to really enjoy the cold, a visit to Mount Washington, New Hampshire might be in order, where minus 80-degree temperatures are predicted.

Across much of Sullivan County temperatures are only expected to dip into the single digits today and Saturday, with strong winds making the real feel in the negative 15-30-degree range, forecasters are predicting.

The county’s warming centers at the Ted Stroebele Center in Monticello and the United Methodist Church in the Village of Liberty willl be open from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.

The many outdoor events scheduled for this weekend are still on, for the most part.
