Exactly right




Did you know that there is a sequel to "Road House," called "Road House 2024"??
No, not a movie, especially not that abomination that came out last year with
Jake Gillillilililiiinhall...a book! So now Dalton is not only the world's greatest
cinema character, he's now the ultimate literary character, too!

Proof!



Unfortunately, that doesn't help us now. It will indeed get worse before it gets
better. Not much I can add to the fray today, with our arctic blast/winter storm
finally underway.

It's cold. How cold do you think it is?

1.

(Yes, a Planes, Trains, and Automobiles bonus reference).



We remain with an Extreme Cold Warning through most of the state for wind chills
from -15 to -30 over the next couple of days.



And a winter storm warning up north, and most of the rest of us a traveler's/
winter weather advisory.



Temperatures will continue to plummet throughout the day, as will those wind
chills. We'll probably lose a lot of our wind sensors to icing throughout the
day, so you'll just have to trust me...it's gonna be epic (not in a good way).

Here are the all-time record low Tmins for today, as well as the record low
Tmaxs...we'll see how many records we can topple before midnight.









Hunker down!

Heck, dunker hown, too!

Whatever it takes.
