With the people of Door County advised not to go outside that means money is not being spent at local businesses. Jim Schuessler is the Executive Director for the Door County Economic Development Corporation and he says businesses, especially restaurants, will definitely be hurt in the short term by the extreme weather. As for the positive, Schuessler believes restaurants may be able to make up for that as people may be more willing to go out this weekend when the weather warms up since they will have been inside their homes for most of four or five straight days.

Temperatures are forecasted to be in the 30s on Saturday and Sunday.
