It has been mostly sunny and bitterly cold all day long; we barely hit 0 F for a few hours before slipping back into the negatives. The temperatures are attributed to the strong northwestern winds coming across the Midwest and the high pressure system currently taking its sweet time to get away from us. We are facing a windchill advisory from 9pm tonight to 9am tomorrow and while temperatures are expected to be in the negative teens, the wind chill is expected to be in the -20 to -30 F range. After last winter of 30-40 consecutive days under zero and ridiculous wind chills, I thought I would be more prepared for this but no one is ever really prepared for it to be so cold the air is taken out of your lungs. Tomorrow is expected to be almost as cold as today and then warming up a little on Friday so we can have 1-3 inches of snow in the afternoon/evening.
This is an amazing website showing the winds all over the world. Kind of mesmerizing too:
