The longest stretch of cold weather this season is expected to remain through the end of next week, and it has been bursting plumbing in the area.

Some classrooms at Delaney Elementary School in Wrentham were flooded mid-afternoon Saturday, and another building had water leaks in Norton shortly after noon, authorities said.

Today's low temperature of 7 degrees at 6 a.m. was the lowestthis winter season, according to Attleboro Water Department records. With the Arctic winds, which finally subsided later today, the low temperatures easily felt like well below zero, forecasters said. The record low for today's date is minus-6 in 1948.

The thermometer made it up to a high of 25 degrees this afternoon, the water department said, but again the wind made it feel like the teens.

Tonight is projected to see a low of 10 that again was expected to feel like below zero, and Sunday is forecast to be mostly sunny and breezy, with a high of 28 degrees that should feel like 10 degrees. Tonight is expected to have a low of 17 that should feel like 6 degrees, AccuWeather said. The Sun Chronicle will have more on this story later on this Web site and in Sunday's newspaper.
