How cold is it where you are?

Today it's 5 degrees with a wind chill of 12 below plus there's about a foot of snow to shovel. Schools, businesses and state offices are closed due to the weather. Reports are saying this brutal cold is expected to last into next week. Last night the weatherman, Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz said this is the first time three major snow storms have hit before February 1 since meteorologists have been keeping track of these things.

8* F . Woke up to -6*. Not going to end for awhile.

Those mild temperatures sure make me drool. Last night it went down to -38C and tonight it's supposed to go down to - 45C so I think the downfill jackets are here to stay. This is mid February weather, maybe we'll have a mild February. They finally plowed the roads but we're supposed to get more snow tomorrow
At least all the lakes are frozen so we don't have to worry about any ski-doos going through thin ice by rushing it.

-11 this morning with a wind chill of -35 & suppose to go down to a -45. Schools are running to hours late today. Hopefully the diesel fuel on the buses doesn't jell up. Winds blow snow on the roads & make for a slick mess, so a person has to really slow down & drive safe if one even needs to be out & about. Will throw another log on the fire.

David, we're gonna have a heat wave this weekend, up into the low 20's. Then back to severe cold again.

We are having a cold wave here. 14 F two nights in a row. Ridiculous. And the school system is getting weird about it anymore. I guess they aren't worried about children that do not have cold weather gear waiting out at bus stops.

-4*F with wind chill, feels like -18*

In yesterday's paper the Chicago Sun-Times described the weather as "unyielding", which I think is a really good description of how this winter in Chicago has been. It's now -5F just past 7 AM.
