MARION COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – While our region avoided the more serious and dangerous winter weather that blanketed a big chunk of the country with Winter Storm Fern, the National Weather Service says the 352 will get some of the fallout this week, in the form of our longest cold snap yet.
Expect nighttime temperatures below freezing most of the week (and remember to take care of the three P’s–people, pets and plants!), and days that probably won’t climb higher than the mid-50s.
