Arctic Blast: Cumming Weather Timeline for Reaching Single-Digit Temps Around 7 Degrees

But for a few flurries, Cumming and Forsyth County largely escaped the snow and icy conditions that make travel hazardous, but the worst is yet to come.

The county, along with several others, is under a wind chill advisory through 1 p.m. Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. 

It warns of dangerously cold wind chills with readings down to 10 below zero.

Frost bite and hypothermia are likely if precautions are not taken. 

Do not venture outdoors without proper protective clothing. If you must go outside, wear multiple layers of loose-fitting clothing and be sure to cover all exposed skin. Be sure to wear a hat. Mittens provide more protection to the hands than gloves.
