Colder than a Bi-otch!

That's right... Not only is it 16 below zero outside at this hour, but with the wind, it feels like -35° F. That's flipping cold, folks! Definitely reason enough to have Wind Chill Advisories in effect for a good portion of the Midwest.

But just wait... The 00z GEM this evening has temperatures across much of eastern North Dakota and Minnesota with temperatures well below -20 Sunday morning. In fact, it had -34° F at 12z on Sunday. The NAM and GFS were considerably more mild, but take that as a grain of salt. (heh, pun!) They're not much better. I mean, really... what's the difference between -15 and -34°? Let's assume no wind.

We'll see how things pan out this weekend. I'm done for the weekend, work-wise, so I'm going into hibernation mode for a couple of days. I'll check in sporadically for temperature reports and will verify what I observe.

A lot of us across the Midwestern and Eastern US are in for a crisp week and a half. So, keep warm out there, folks!
