The winter storm that’s hitting northern regions hard is going to be felt in Northwest Florida as well.

Wind chills in the teens, black ice on local roadways and damaging storms are all possibilities for the area.

Northwest Florida residents are being urged to beware of black ice overnight and into Tuesday morning. The thin icy glaze may appear to motorists that the road is simply wet. It may remain until temperatures rise above freezing.

But once temperatures warm enough to eliminate that risk, the area may be looking at severe storms developing Wednesday night into Thursday morning, according to local officials .

Dead piglets and chickens in various states of decomposition. Hogs standing in 3 feet of their own feces and urine, feeding on the dead. Emaciated horses with open sores. No clean water. Horse skulls, jawbones and cow horns scattered across the filthy property.

For the 44th year in a row, McGuire’s Irish Pub will host its St. Patrick’s Day 5K. This year’s will be on March 13.

But it may look and feel a lot different from previous runs, thanks to safety conditions imposed by the pandemic.
