Had a good snow storm yesterday and now the winds are re-arranging it all again. Drifting something terrible. But that is the least of it. Temps stayed around 10F all night and now they falling fast. Right now its 2F and looking to get a little chilly tonight. New Ulm, MN in the deep freeze tonight

Finally? As in..."I really like this stuff?" I saw that it's going to be 32 degrees tomorrow in Keller Texas, where we were living. It makes me very happy that we moved to Florida. I seriously hate the cold weather.

Really cold weather is good from time to time, kills off a lot of bugs and vermin.

T-shirt and shorts weather for me.

WE've been with a wind chill factor of -25 to -30 F the past few days. We had 8-10 inches of snow too, and we expect 3 more tonight. Tomorrow the high is subzero with wind chills 25-30 below and wind speed of 25 mph or so.
Yup, it's winter!

We slipped below zero at around 12pm and its now -3F. -24F wind chill at the moment. Just got back in from blowing off my drifting that practically closed off my driveways. Sucks when you can only blow it one direction, with the wind. Not always helpful.
Will have to go out again later tonight since its still blowing and drifting. Fills right back up. At least no, no heat calls. So far.

unbelievable - most Texans who would have moved for the first time to MN would have died from that .... their cold, lifeless bodies found under the snow in their front yards

Thirty minutes ago it was 80 degrees here, but fifteen miles away in the county seat it was already 54 degrees. The front hit here five minutes ago and it's already dropped to 63. It's supposed to drop to the high teens tonight with a 30-35 mph wind. We MIGHT break freezing tomorrow.

Going down to -31F with -50 windchills here tonight. Don`t think it would a good time for a visit. Will have to get up early again and blow off the drifting snow.
Don`t mind the cold as much as I hate the Hot weather. I can always wear warmer clothes. I don't mind the cold so much, but absolutely hate windchill! Our temp was 0F on Thursday with a windchill of -25 while I was working on the flightline. When I went out for a smoke and stood behind a bush in the sun to block the wind it felt comfortable...lol.
