MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 January 7, 2015 How cold is too cold? How cold is too cold? Well, some questions just don't have answers. For instance, who's deadlier with a rolled up magazine: Ash from "Alien" http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/ash-magazine.jpg or Jason Bourne http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/bourne-magazine.jpg Tough to say, right? So how cold is too cold? Depends on the person asking, of course, and since I have the keyboard, I'm going to say that THIS is too cold: http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/current-windchills.png Cold enough for a wind chill advisory from the NWS. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/latest.oklahoma.frostfreeze.gif The actual air temperatures aren't even that bad (but still too cold), it's that stupid wind that's killing us right now. Gusts close to 50 mph combined with temperatures in the teens and 20s just doesn't cut it. Well, it actually cut right through you, come to think of it. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/current-temps.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/current.gustarrows.gif And don't expect it to get better just yet...we have another day of really REALLY cold weather to go, then we'll just end up with sorta cold weather with a chance of wintry precipitation through the weekend and early next week. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/nws-amarillo.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/nws-norman.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/nws-tulsa.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/nws-norman-7day-planner.jpg Doesn't appear to be a lot right now, but moisture is moisture. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/7day-moisture-forecast.gif My advice? Don't walk north outside for the next couple of days. That or get to Kenton by tomorrow afternoon (drive, don't walk). http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150107/thursday-highs.png By the way, I'll concede Jason Bourne as the winner with a rolled up magazine. He finished his guy off while Ash got his cyborg block knocked off by a fire extinguisher.
