Aerie: Cold!
But it could be worse.

Just 1 degree this morning at 7 AM. Could be a lot worse. There's a snow and ice storm raging across the south. Started in the Oklahoma area and pretty much followed the borderlands of Missouri/Arkansas, Kentucky/Tennessee, and Virginia/Carolina as it headed for the Atlantic. Up to a foot of snow in some of the mountain areas and 1/2 inch of ice on the southern edge. The northern edge is bringing some light snow to Philadelphia and southern New Jersey. Our cold, cold air is keeping it there. Looking at the windmills, I can see that what wind there is (and there isn't much) is coming out of the due North.

And it is around minus 12 (that's -12) up at the Bolt Hole. That's up from an overnight low of around minus 15.

What? It's going to be colder tonight? Oh goody!

Once again, the jet stream is playing tricks on all of us. It's 18 here, going up to the mid-20s today. That's about 20 degrees colder than it ought to be.

Don't you mean "that's about 20 degrees warmer than it ought to be."?

We got up to 20 degrees--for about 30 seconds--this afternoon in bright sunshine.
