"Unfortunately, we will not be able to continue the illumination through this weekend as originally planned," said Bryan Long, spokesman for The Coca Cola Company.
"It has been a privilege to say 'thank you' with this this special month-long illumination and we apologize the viewing period has been abbreviated by inclement weather."
