🌱 New Strudel Restaurant + More Winter Weather

Hello, neighbors! It's me again, Dan Casarella, your host of the Columbia Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 58 Low: 41.

Here are the top two stories in Columbia today:

1. More winter weather is possible for Columbia later into the week. Weather experts say that Friday into Saturday could see freezing rain or snow to parts of the area. Now, there is a 40% chance of the precipitation being rain and a 50% chance of it being freezing rain or sleet. (WLTX)
2. The Strudel Shop will be moving from Charlotte to Columbia and have its grand opening on Jan. 27 at noon. The restaurant previously outgrew its Charlotte space, and will now be in downtown Columbia’s Main Street District. The new address is at 1237 Washington St. (The State)

• Coffee & Canvas At Painting With A Twist (11:00 AM)
• Cheat Codes, Charly Jordan, Cade At The Senate (8:00 PM)

From my notebook:

• With the dry high-pressure building in, expect cold nights as winds should weaken enough to allow temps to fall quickly. Northwestern counties will fall into the low 20's, possibly upper teens. Stay warm! (Facebook)
• Gamecock Baseball: "Congrats to @willsanders32, named to @perfectgameusa Preseason All-SEC team! #Gamecocks" (Instagram)
• Do you have a young performer in your life!? Columbia Children's Theatre's KidStage Bootcamp class is specifically designed to educate Elementary Aged Actors in the art of Theatre.(Facebook)
