Winter returns with a vengeance

Cold weather has returned and will stick around long enough this week to wear out its welcome and at least suspend the global warming debate.Prepare to protect your plants and plumbing as Barnesville-Lamar County will spend extended periods well below the freezing mark if forecasts hold true. Tuesday’s forecast calls for a high of 57 degrees and a low of 26. Wednesday’s low is forecast to be a bearable 32 but Thursday and Friday night lows will dip to 19 and 22, respectively. Take the appropriate precautions. ;
