That means real feel temperatures likely in the single digits as your kids stand at the bus stop Friday morning.

Make sure you and our family are bundled up before you head out. and don't plan on being outside for any extended period if you don't have to be.

Also, make sure your four-legged friends have some where warm to sleep.
