An arctic air mass is expected to sweep across the Plains, Midwest and Ohio Valley on Thursday, Jan. 11, 2023, bringing with it "brutal" temperatures, according to the National Weather Service. Afternoon highs are unlikely to reach zero across much of Montana and parts of North Dakota on Jan. 12, while the Central Plains and portions of Iowa and Minnesota will see temperatures ranging from zero to the low teens. The Weather Service expects the arctic air mass and the extreme cold to extend "well beyond" the weekend. Staying warm when the temperatures start to drop isn't just about comfort; it's about safety. While keeping your auto and home insurance coverage updated is an essential part of protecting yourself from extreme weather, this slideshow contains seven more tips, courtesy of Erie Insurance, to ensure you stay protected when things get frigid.
