It was a mere 4 degrees F this morning at the Aerie with a dusting of light snow at daybreak. The snow has ended and the sun is finally rising above the hill but the temperature hasn't moved. The wind is blowing out of the northwest at a respectable 15-20 mph and it's damn cold out.
Sure, compared to what the Giants and Packers will face tonight it's down right balmy, but I'm feeling the chill here on the Northern Tier of north-central PA.
BTW: The average high for this date is around 32 and the average low is around 13. We'll be well under those figures. Part of the discrepancy has to do with the location of the weather.com station and our 2100 foot elevation, but even at their station (wherever it may be) it will be well below average.
Mark reports that things are even colder and snowier at the Bolt Hole where lake effect snows coming from Lake Ontario may drop a foot of fresh powder later today and early tomorrow while the morning temperature was into negative numbers.

It's interesting how you're so high up there. While I'm so high up here -- high on the map, that is -- I'm only at about 450 feet! That was one of the things that surprised me about Alaska: how much of it is relatively flat! But still wayyyyy cold... although the past couple days have been so tame. Rest assured, we'll soon have days where the high temp is about -20! Days like that make me long for New England/the Northeast U.S. again. This is interesting to experience... but it can be downright crazy sometimes!
