A friend reported it was so cold this morning that he actually saw a liberal with his hands in his
own pockets!

Pushing 12F right now.

A regular heat wave. I'll take it.

Eyeing this potential coastal storm for Thurs - Fri.
Might luck out and have it go too far out to sea. Otherwise ...

Only problem is that after it passes, the cold returns with overnight
lows predicted to be minus 8 or so. That's temp, not wind chill.

This has been one of the coldest December/January months I can remember
having for a long time. Soon will break a 100 year record for temps
remaining below 20 (F). For the past week the daytime temps haven't
even got close to 20, staying in the low to mid teens at best. 0
degrees yesterday morning. This morning it actually warmed up to 3 degrees.

Bright warm sun here but still -2.

That’s the saying about our Illinois Madigans

Yeah, it was 13 F here this morning, and will barely break freezing for a few hours today. Then back down into the teens tonight. Wintry mix headed in Wednesday down on the coast, but it's not supposed to extend up this far into the midlands. That's unusual... it normally comes from the NW, not the coast. You son should get a dose of it. Tell him to stock up on milk and bread early, there won't be any available tomorrow.

He's been sending me text messages with pictures of the temp down there.
It's cold, but not like up here. He does it just to rub it in. I am
hoping this coastal storm dumps about a foot of snow in his driveway.

We have a small window of snow opportunity on Thursday, but not much.
Plenty cold, though.

Harry will be happy that I was not wearing my "board shorts" this
morning when I did "water".
At 0700 it was overcast and 10c here (50f) with the wind blowing 12-15
out of the north. It seemed colder on the water. Water temp was 17.9c
(64f).
It is up to a tad over 60f now that the sun is out.

My remote starter, which has been working just fine for years, decided to go haywire. The truck
starts, runs about three seconds and dies. A 'check engine' light showed up about two weeks ago, and
I've not yet run the diagnostics. Maybe they are related.

Don't like this...we very seldom have a white Christmas here in the city and the cold weather usually holds off till January or February. This might make for a long winter as spring arrives about a month after you get it.

Tim, you're close to St Louis, eh?
Saw a cable program 'Abandoned' the other day about how the population had dropped in the city. Also the 22 schools that have closed up and are just left to fall apart. Too bad...that big arch and skyline always made the city seem prosperous.
