IDAHO FALLS — A cold weather system is bringing freezing temperatures and even some snow to eastern Idaho this week.

Temperatures will drop to between 27 to 33 degrees in the advisory area. Similar temperatures will also be felt in other areas in eastern Idaho, but those areas have already had a hard frost or freeze and so advisories are no longer being issued.
