Cold and Colder




Really, Mother Nature? This is what we asked for? Wind chills as low as 22 degrees
below zero? And while those are the lowest we've seen today, it hasn't exactly
improved a lot with the sunshine...either the wind chills or the actual air
temperatures.




And while the frigid air mass will start to pull off to the northeast today, and
the sun does a bit of modifying, don't be shocked if we set some record low
maximum temperatures today (although technically, it will be tough in some areas
because the temps after midnight pre-frontal passage are a bit higher).




And we've probably already broken some record low temps.




Oh well, you want a happy place? I suggest you skip the next couple of days
and head right for the weekend.




Not today, though. If you're happy, you're probably indoors.
