ABERDEEN, S.D. (HubCityRadio.com) – There are just a few days left in what has proven to be a mild January. However, it will feel a lot more like winter in the very near future, according to Laura Edwards, State Climatologist.

She said January will go down as one of the warmest on record, but that a system will move in by mid-week.

She said there is potential for heavy snow, much colder temps and strong wind.
