The average high for Chicago in mid-February is around 35-38F. Tomorrow the forecast is for a high of 10F (brrrrr!) and Thursday 2F. Then it's back up into the 20s with snow for the weekend. The groundhog saw his shadow and we have definitely had a few more weeks of winter since then.

It's 80F and sunny in St. Thomas, USVI today, wish I was there!

[Felicia's Mom]

Here it is 0*F, feels like -21F

[chocolatepuppy]

2°F Feels Like -13° High of 4* today plus wind chill!

In Butler, Pa the regular temp was 0 degrees this morning with the windchill at about 20 degrees below zero. All is not lost, however. The high today will be a balmy 6 degrees!

How cold is it where I am?

-----

The local government has held new pressers to keep people informed as to what services - snow removal, plowing and schools - are being affected.

There has been no school since last Friday and the school superintendent has been at the broadcasts letting parents know there is no school scheduled for the next few days.

One day she asked the kids 'to read anything' while they were at home.

Yesterday, she said something about "mukluks".

As the Mayor came back to the lectern, he looked around and said, "I don't know what 'mukluks' are....."


Back at the TV station, the anchors said, "MUKLUKS?"

They cut back to the Mayor and when his spiel was over, the male anchor said, "I looked up 'mukluks' and all I found was something about a seal skinned Eskimo boot!".

-----

I was laughing my butt off during all of this and yelling at the screen, "MUKLUKS ARE COLD WEATHER BOOTS!!!"

Here I am, a SoCal kid, grew up in 70 degree, year round weather and I knew what 'mukluks' are?

That is how cold it is!!!!!!

Well, it hit 8 degrees last night. it was 12 when I awoke. It's now 25. We get a repeat tonight. Most of us do not have winter gear. I do, but I'm strange.

School is in session but delayed. The students would get frostbite waiting on the school bus. Hopefully this extreme cold will kill off some of the fire ants. BRRRRR

It's a great day to burrow under blankets and watch old movies.

We might get more of the wet stuff.

They've been delaying school opening in Poughkeepsie because a lot of the kids walk to school. I'm kind of two minds about this: the 9 year old mind waiting for the bus when it was this cold, and wish they had delayed school; and the "get off my lawn" mind that says cowboy up, I did it, so can you!

[cassiesmom]

Heat wave! It's up to 7F (-14C) with lovely bright sunshine ... but the wind chill is still -7F. When I left for work this morning it was below zero.

LOL, kinda like walking down hill and sledding back up or the old, I walked to school uphill, both ways.

[RICHARD]

LOLOLOL, as it SHOULD be!

I used to laugh at the news clips of people walking around in single digit weather, all wadded up in nylon, cotton and spandex.

What do they say about 'pay back'?

I got into the car, drove it for about a mile and a half up the street when I realized the AC was on.

The AC was WARMER than the 'Heat' setting in the car.

I got to my destination and the car STILL wasn't warm....

At 10.00pm it's all of 10 degrees here in Trenton though the best is yet to come. Temperatures will continue to drop during the overnight and we'll have a record setting 1 degree by morning commute time. Counting the wind chill, it will feel like -19 below.
