OK this is not funny any more and getting serious now.

Very cold wind chills will return to northern Michigan starting tonight behind an Arctic front.

Wind chills may plummet to 30 below zero or colder across parts of eastern upper.

 

But it's not new

Do all the dogs come in at that point? Please forgive me, I know you have a kennel but don't know if it's heated. ?

Yes they do -

In the winter the inside of the kennel stays @ 20 degrees warmer than the outside ambient temp most of the time.  And while the dog houses inside each run are insulated, heated, and sitting on 1 inch thick rubber horse mats, (pic below) big winds can cool it down a little bit more.

So we bring them in.

It's the one time they actually like staying in the house.

They use the puppy room downstairs, which they completely fill up.

We would like to see a photo of this filled-up room with all the dogs present!

 

That kennel is a nice setup too.

Ok - I'll tag you in one tomorrow.

The 2 malamtues get the puppy room all to themselves. Kya & Tank patrol the rest of the dwelling.

Mercury's sagging to - 10 here this morning ~ adding the wind chill certainly get my attention.

Dangerously cold wind chills of 30 below zero or colder are expected again across eastern upper this morning.

Wind chills of ten to twenty below zero are anticipated for those across northern lower. 

I'll be hiding down in the tackle room all day today.

Not as cold as you @A-Jay, we're a rather balmy 4* with a wind chill of -12*. Wind was howling last night. Monday, 48* and rain.

Wow 

Having pretty much the same weather all weekend as @A-Jay, it was mostly an inside weekend. It did warm up to a tolerable level this afternoon though, so the kid and I got the sleds out on the lake. As a newly licensed driver ( at 12 here you can get your snowmobile licence), this was his first solo run on a lake, and the conditions were perfect    for practising turns, leaning and some more speedier runs than in the fields. Only about 4 more months till we can be out on this same lake in the boat ( 4 very, very long months ?).

Dang. SMH. I was cold today here with 30+ winds and it was high 50s. We’re actually getting some winter weather this week. Looks like we may even get a freeze, lol.

My son is spending his first winter in MI . He’s in grand rapids. I know he’s got to be thinking about coming home. Hoping he will. He’s my main fishing buddy!

That’s where I work. Send me his address and I’ll act all crazy, twitch a little, and tell him not to turn out like the rest of us Michiganders! I’ll plead with him to go back before it’s too late. 
 

If he spends too many warmer months up here, it will be too late!

That's how I corrupted my wife...moved her up here end of June...by the time the snow flew, she was hooked.

 

I 'imported' her from SE Florida (Boca Raton area).

We’ve got some snow on everything and now it’s raining again……..

 

surely there’s some kind of saying for these conditions

Yes there certainly is a saying - 

and it's very technical too.

We call that Slush . . .

He caught his first bass there the 2nd day he was there! 
He loves Florida saltwater fishing so much Im surprised he hasnt come home yet. What kind of business do you do? He took a plumbing Job up there, and went up with a friend that was from there.

And we call it a 'dusting'...don't even dig the shovels out, just get a broom.

Yes, Knoxville. Nashville has been getting a good bit for a couple weeks, we usually get lots in the smoky mountains and virtually nothing down here in the river valley 

 

i still think we only got about 1 inch or less this time
