It's gonna make it clear to south Texas from what I understand!

and lows in the teens. it's been highs in the 50s lows in the 30s mostly

so it will be a cold snap, but we won't get the worst of it, we're too far west

We are supposed to be in the 20's tomorrow night. Not used to this weather at all!

Keep WARM!

this is warm by any comparison (and I just got some really really really warm boots from Canada (warm down to -40 degrees guaranteed)--LOL

So, I'm set.

Vast improvement over the -8°F it was last night.

and DIE!!! That's so cold!

I hope you keep warm and safe!

Its hard on the furnace, but it maintained 68 without much difficulty. The worst part was shoveling snow on Friday. It was 10°F outside with a 15MPH constant breeze. Had to cover my entire face for that.

When we get a cold snap here the heat gets turned to atleast 70! Do you have a fireplace or other heat source?

I am just clueless about extreme cold weather.

I have electric space heaters if I need to warm a room and I have a Kerosene heater as an emergency heat source. The fireplace isn't very useful for heat. I also have a generator in case I lose power in a storm.

You get used to a cooler thermostat setting. Basically the house will remain that temp for 5 to 6 months of the year. Only in the summer do I float with the temps. No AC.

We will get down to 42 degrees Sunday morning. I feel for everyone who is getting affected by this storm.

Haele

I hear ya!

It's still going to get cold here, we are expecting record cold temps.

Keep that heat cranked up for the morning!

to 30 (bbbbbrrrrr) in the middle of the night Sun/Monday. I've been freezing already. I don't like much of anything below 70 anymore.

will be hit with some really cold temps. We are sooooo not used to this. I went to the grocery today and it was packed! the produce and bread aisle had been ransacked! *sigh* Texans... we are so weird. LOL!

Stay warm dear friend!

I hate super cold weather!

Wind chill to reach -10 to -15 tonight then around -30 tomorrow night. Single digit temps tomorrow then slowly rising to around 40 degrees by Saturday.

Not pleasant but not nearly as bad as the areas North of us. You all stay warm and safe.

You too!!!

31 degrees, calm, cloudy with scattered light snow.

Weird.

Keep warm.. I'd hate to be in minus territory!

but we expect it. A couple weeks ago it was -60 up in the Interior - and that's WITHOUT wind chill. Anchorage never gets that cold. We very seldom go below -25 because we're near the open water.

Where are you?

That's unimaginable to me... Keep safe and warm! Yikes!

It started the day at -1'F

-25 tomorrow night, with wind chill to -40 to -50 F. St. Paul, MN.

Oh man!

What do people do? Is the city shut down? Can you go outside at all?

Schools are closed on Monday, but that's it. We go outside. I have clothing that's good to -50. My wife has a Dr. appointment on Monday. We have -25 days every winter. We're prepared for it. You stay inside, if you can, but people go to work as usual.

Where such temperatures happen regularly, people deal with it. In northern MN, it may hit -50 on Sunday night. They'll cope, too. We're prepared.

but I literally cannot imagine that. I just can't.

I've traveled to places with snow, we have cold temps that hit us form time to time but -50 is just not something I can wrap my head around!

UGH. I hope you keep warm!

secondly, dress in layers which traps heat in. Third, don't shut off the car until you are really done for the day.
I am with Skidmore in Iowa. -20 used to happen every year. We haven't had a cold snap like this for quite a while. And it is only going to last about 2 days.

It was below zero the entire month and often got to -40 below.

at 70 degrees. When we go out, we warm the car up in the driveway. We dress for the outside temps. It's not that big a deal, if you're prepared. Last year, our furnace stopped working on a bitter cold day. We made a call and it was fixed within two hours. Where we live, we're ready for it.

Even people who are strapped for money can find resources. It's the norm here in the winter, so everyone's ready for it.

I know it sounds weird, and I'm a California guy, but I've adapted.

We've had a few mild winters in recent years, but that is the exception. Usually, we can expect a week or 2 of double digit sub zero temps, yet everything goes on as normal just as it does for you guys.

One thing I find odd about this year though, is how early into the winter season it is happening. We are now well into week 2 of this. Most of the time, these bitter cold spells tend to happen around mid to late January or early February.

As an aside, this past summer was oddly exceptional too. So hot and muggy that Mr PC and I had to go out and buy a small (just for the bedroom) air conditioner. We've never needed AC before.

be below zero already. It's still only single digits below zero up north. (I'm in Shoreview.)

It's gonna be a cold one.

Once we do go below zero we're supposed to stay there until Wednesday.

We will be getting the -50 windchills too.

Stay safe.

We need some serious rain however.

Go Eagles!

LOL!

Keep warm!!!

Along with Romo and the rest of the 'Boys.

So it's all good.

and I'm normally a NYG fan.

Early this morning we're due for the cold front which
will bring the temp down to the 20's. This will last
two or three days, then back to normal.

Our highland lakes sure could use some of ya'll
northerners' snowmelt, though.

and they were reporting people to cover pipes etc. This year has been weird weather wise. UGH.

I think we have some rain in the forecast later this week. That would be nice!

Yet it always seems to hit everywhere but the lakes...
or else the lake water is being released... or both.

windy from the North

With a "light snow mist". I have to admit, that's the first time I've ever seen that weather description.

"warmer" tomorrow, 34'. icey conditions tomorrow, rain or snow Monday.

UGH. I just cannot imagine this. I am so ignorant when it comes to super cold temps.

I hope you keep warm and safe!

It's our half way point to the Cape, I can't imagine that hill in the winter .

Worcester, Boston, the South Shore and now Amherst; I've never heard of the 1,000 mile hill or the Quabog. Sorry.

Tomorrow temps will drop

The cold moves in tomorrow. Our overnight low is predicted to be around 9. Brrrr!

Did a bunch of errands because I know it's heading back down ....

We will drop down into the low 30's for our low Tuesday morning, then start warming back up.

I feel like I need mountains of blankets just checking on all of you!

Keep warm!!

Tomorrow, it's supposed to be -10 for a high and -28 for a low. Monday, it's supposed to be -14 with a low of -20.

If it were not for the Cedar pollen I would have had the windows wide open today!

Can you come to my house next? LOL!!

It was going from the 20s at night and the 40s in the day, snow a bit and was very brisk.

Puget Sound area, a few hundred feet above the Pacific or sealevel. Hoping that vortex doesn't slide over the mountains to the west any time soon.

Sorry for those battling the cold.

me to understand! I hope everyone stays warm!

I remember seeing news reports of Detroit and Chicago with wind chill factors of a hundred below zero about 40 years ago. I could not imagine living there, but they were ready for it.;.

Yes, people died, just as they did in the summers there, too. But over all, things were more organized then.

A few summers ago this area had ambulances running up and down the streets all day and night because of the heat. Most people don't have air conditioning. The city set up cooling centers to take care of those who couldn't handle the heat.

But we are well prepared for the cold, even though we don't have the long cold spells like people are getting now in most of the country...

A few years ago many people were bousebound due to a lot of snow, unable to get around. We are told to be prepared at all times to take care of ourselves if everything quits. I was indoors for 3 weeks, stocked up and lucky to have power.

Of course, some people have to go places, and then it's an adventure. Here's a local scene. Turn the sound all the way up!

It's just weird for me to understand -50! LOL! I get the heat thing, we are far more prepared for hot temps here. We are used to hot summers and get confused when people ask or are concerned about it.

We had an epic summer just a few years ago, it was 108 for weeks and no rain for months. It was awful!

I hope you keep warm and safe!!!

I don't know why, but I do well in heat.
I don't even use the A/C much, just a
fan or two.

But cold really gets me. Sometimes I
think I'm allergic to it.

and we'll have high winds whistling through the passes tonight, dropping our temps about 12 degrees, just a glancing blow for us.

Tomorrow's high will still be over 40, not bad even if I do need to go out for something or other.

Gets down to 18 on Sunday night. Hate the cold because we are not built for it around here pipe wise. Have to shut the water off to the other buildings on the property. Good news is no ice or snow this time around.

I've covered in the past. Just the outside spigots. Saying the freezing weather will last for more than 24 hours which is why I need to think about our pipes.

I hope you stay warm, looks like it's coming this way! I have plenty of firewood!

The extreme cold doesn't get here until Tuesday morning when it will be 9 degrees with a high of 29 degrees. I am not complaining because I would rather have this winter cold than the 90s in the summer.

Hope the shit, I mean snow, stays up north of us

The older she gets, the more she hates snow. She even hates White Christmases.
Luckily for her, even a heavy snow in NW Arkansas doesn't last more than a week or so.

so when it snows there'll be call-ins so she'll have to go work to top it all off.
Before I was a married man I used to love the snow, couldn't wait to get out in it but as I age and with kids and wife to worry with I no longer like it a bit. Like where your mother lives most times our snows are only here for a few days at most, sometimes it'll snow at night and by evening the next day it'll be gone. Don't think thats going to happen this time though as it looks like the cold will be with us a few days at least.

I think your mother is in for more of this snow than we are. Hope she stays in a stays safe and warm.

In northeast Pennsylvania. Freezing rain predicted for tomorrow. Ugh . . . .

...-17 (which will be the high for Monday also) and -43 wind chill for nearly a full day.

Egads.

-31°F tonight in Winnipeg. it is -22° now
-25 in tonight in Fargo ND -24° tomorrow night. Lows of -20° to -35° are common in Fargo this time of year. The cold settles in the Eastern side of North Dakota because it is a large flat valley. The same goes for Winnipeg, except they are closer to the ice machines.
+9° tonight in Kansas City MO and -10° tomorrow night

... the moment.

The low tomorrow night is supposed to be -21, with a "high" on Monday of -13. That's straight temps without wind chill.

later it's forecast at -5F... which means it will probably be about -15F which isn't bad over here in the northern Rockies, along the divide. We're just going to get a little of it by being on the western edge of the cold air mass. But what the plains are expecting is what we get at least once or twice during any given winter and it can last for weeks. We're getting off easy on this event.

Stay warm everybody, let your faucets run with a stream about the width of a pencil lead, dripping won't be enough to keep the pipes open and unfrozen at those temps. If your drains won't drain, pour a quarter to a half a container of salt, any kind, down the drain with a kettle of really hot water and wait a little while, that could help. Let your pets sleep with you if your house gets cold, huddling is good.

Also, close your drapes and shades... candles and incandescent lights help heat the air. And baking something that will take most of the night is also a good way to help heat a place.

All stuff I learned to do when it gets that cold and lasts for days to weeks.

In the 80s tomorrow with some showers.



Unfortunately when I return to NJ it will be in the teens.

80s? Nope.

In few minutes I'm leaving for the airport for a 3:30pm flight. It's pouring and I hate turbulence. I'm already nervous.

you won't have to spend over an hour with them deicing your plane.

It was the day from hell for traveling because there was bad weather in FL, in my connecting city (Charlotte, NC) and at Newark airport. Both flights got delayed and both landed in very heavy fog. People were amazed that they even landed in the designated city. The first flight was smooth, but the second one was a bit bumpy. When I finally got to Newark (after 10:40PM), we found out that all the other NY airports were closed due to the fog. The fog was so heavy in Charlotte and Newark that we didn't realize we had landed until we heard the bump when the tires hit the tarmac. To top it all, the airline didn't send the bags on my flight from Charlotte. They arrived on a later flight. By then it was raining and the line to get a cab was almost a block long.

I'm finally home having a cup of tea before going to bed. I left a message at work that I was taking half a day. If it wasn't for an important meeting in the afternoon, I would have taken the whole day.

at 12:21 am in the morning. Sunday.

in Upstate NY, about an hour west of Albany. Was 9 below yesterday morning. Calling for rain RAIN this afternoon. We just got a foot and a half of snow and the temps have been below zero and Tuesday we are expected to go back into the deep freeze. I've been keeping my own records here at home since Nov. 1980. Last winter was an average winter. I often find that people's memories of the weather are more for single events rather than an entire season. As a result, impressions are often scaled to that perception. Hey! It's winter! We live up North, to be expected. Look at it this way, January and February are the coldest months and by April, it'll be beautiful.

It will supposedly reach 3 degrees with a wind chill factor of-14 by Tuesday, which means I need to be at the supermarket now, stockpiling just in case, but I don't feel well. And I hate shopping even when I feel well. Then there are the concerns about my pipes bursting...

Supposed to go into the 30s tomorrow

By tomorrow wind chills are expected to be 40 below, although it could get even colder than that.

Tomorrow, otoh, will be -6/-16C, with more snow. Staying in the deep freeze for the rest of the week.

I'm wearing woolen sweaters and cozy socks....and drinking tea. Lots of tea.

...and I don't know the other one, since it makes the thermometer taste funny.

Mid twenties the high Tuesday...
Hope the pipes don't freeze & bust.

The Chihuahua krewe is pissed!

The frontal boundary is just passing through now.

It's dropped 16 degrees since 5 a.m.

Winds have picked up and expected to sustain in the 20-30 mph gusting to 60 for a majority of the day.

A flash freeze is currently ocurring as I type this...

Western and southern counties to our location are expected to recieve another 10"-14" of lake effect snow today and overnight.

This winter has been relentless.
