Wednesday---COLD

[Sycamore67]

It is cold ..very cold this morning.  It is -21 F with wind chill around -45 F.  It is even colder up in Wisconsin.   But, the sun is coming up and will warm things up a bit to maybe -5 F.  The snow makes weird noises when you step on it.

The only colder I have encountered is -26 F with wind chills in the -60 s.

Thank goodness for cars today which start much better than the older cars in the frigid weather.

I've just been reading about this. It's a Polar Vortex and I don't envy you one bit.  Keep warm and well. xx

Overnight temperature - 39C with wind chill was -51C (-59.8F).  Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (oops, it froze)

-21F with a wind chill of -49F.  Even mail delivery is cancelled today!

Google "States with no mail delivery Wednesday".   -22 in eastern Iowa.  Would it help to send a delegation to Australia to work out a compromise with Marg?

I'm fairly surprised with all the closures and no mail deliveries going on. While it certainly is cold, we've (Montana anyways) seen colder, and worse wind chills before. When I was in highschool in the 90's we had football practice at 35 below and a -80 degree windchill.

On a positive note, it's not too warm and the brisk breeze gets the adrenaline going. It could be worse you could live in California.

Heck, that's nothing.  I had to walk 5 miles to school & back, and it was uphill both ways.

The weather is amazingly weird...It was -22 F on Wednesday and Thursday morning and +44 F this morning.  I am MUCH warmer and my dog is very happy.

We finally hit some Winter today.  In the mid 20's winds to 25 mph and snowing.  We are suppose to get up to 5".  STOP laughing, that is good amount for us.  Bad, I mean BAD Winters we can get 8+".  This evening the wind has died down and it is snowing pretty good..... The very sad part of it is I cannot possibly be expected to go out in these conditions and to anything.  Guess I will have to stay in and.... scroll....
