Ttomorrow is going to be our coldest day, they're already canceling school for tomorrow because of the deadly wind chills. Around my house we're looking at -30 and where I work we're looking at -45. There's an area in SW Michigan in Mark Zona's neck of the woods that's looking at almost -60! 

Oh man, that's just not right...My fingers are crossed for you guys. Stay safe my friend.

Well at least we got to see a little bit of pretty snow

Pretty? When you get 10 inches overnight and 2-3 foot drifts it's not pretty anymore! ?

They're saying 6"-10" tonight, blowing snow tomorrow. Tues -9, Tues Night -29, Wed -16, Wed Night -29

 

Then near or over 30 by the weekend.

 

Our temps have been like a bouncing ball all winter.

I see you are from Minnesota. Very good muskie, walleye, and smallmouth bass fishing in your state but the weather is terrible there at this moment in time. From what I read Minnesota is one of the states getting hit the hardest with life threatening cold weather. Minneapolis is -25 degrees Fahrenheit at this moment with a wind chill of -50 degrees Fahrenheit. The next 7 day forecast is not looking good either. Also read that many Mid Western states are getting record cold weather now that some meteorologist are calling ''the coldest winter in a generation''. I like fishing up north for northern species but I will not visit with the terribly cold weather you guys are having now.

Looks gloomy. I like seeing trees filled with green leaves.

They're still saying a high of 37 above on Saturday...but back down into the teens next week.

 

Follow the bouncing ball.

Minneapolis Saturday forecast says 39 degrees but that is still very cold weather. Besides it can drop back down to where it is now next week. You can always go ice fishing for some of those big muskies and walleye you have in your state.

For Jan-Feb, anything above freezing is a heat-wave. I'll take it.

 

I went ice-fishing once years ago (I was a teen and I'm closing on 60 now)...never again.

Guess I forgot to close the flue on the fireplace

We are around -5 wind chill right now in the southwestern tip of Indiana. By 9 this morning its supposed to be about -10. Monday its supposed to be 62

Looks like Groundhog Day is bringing us some comfortable consecutive days

Tonight it's our turn to get the remnants of the polar vortex. -20* wind chill and single digits for a high tomorrow. Mid 30*'s & 40*'s for the weekend and 50*'s - almost 60* by Tuesday...Crazy!

 

May not contribute to an early ice out . . .

Welcome to January 74th !

Wow we're actually colder than you, that's probably a first. My bosses boss lives in Cadillac and said he got 20" Monday night, I think we ended up with about 8 Monday and another 3-4 yesterday. This snow was really fine so with the crazy wind the drifting is unreal! 

 

I wonder if there's going to be a Midwestern baby boom in late October? ?

We got a load and we're still getting it now - 

There's plenty of boom up this way -

But babies, not so much.

Puppies are good though

Going to be a long day. Internet is down at work. Our phones are connected to the internet so no phones. Ive had 3 techs come in this morning. I did stop and buy donuts to go with the coffee, for the hvac techs that come in today. I cant help but feel bad for them in this weather.

I did HVAC for one year and was on call for one winter, that was a bitter cold winter and a busy one. I don't envy them at all. Then years later I got into the field I'm in now. My previous company we did on call and winters like this water mains were popping like crazy and never during the day, I did that for 5 years. Thankfully now I only respond to emergencies during the day.

Next week is going to be a $#itstorm. Supposed to be in the 40s by Sunday. Every pipe that has frozen will thaw and burst over the weekend.

Yup 40 here Sunday and 45 Monday and steady rain. 

I think it’s about 20 degrees outside, had to bring ole short haired bo and his pack of friends inside. 

The last day of the cold. Tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 17, that's a 32 degree swing! Monday is a high of 47 that's a 62 degree swing or to really make it eye popping figure in the wind chill and we're talking about an 82 degree swing and it'll only be 47! ?
