It&#8217;s cold and about to get a whole lot colder as we head into the week ahead. Another arctic front is ready to push into the bluegrass state, bringing a round of snow and bitterly cold temperatures.

Skies will be party sunny this afternoon as highs hit the 20-25 degree range.<\/p>\n<p>Our arctic front arrives late on MLK Day Monday.
